Ashley Paltauf, Ridgefield Playhouse Managing Director is Fairfield County 40 Under Forty!

Ridgefield Playhouse Managing Director Ashley Paltauf Named One of Fairfield County Business Journal’s 40 Under Forty!

The annual award honors forty individuals who are dynamic industry leaders and part of Fairfield County’s business growth.

Paltauf and fellow awardees will be recognized at The Point at Norwalk Cove on June 15, 2023. Matt Scott, Meteorologist will Emcee and co-host the celebratory event.

Ashley Paltauf has been with The Ridgefield Playhouse for over 10 years and, along with Jared Shahid, is now the Managing Director of the non-profit performing arts center. 

Ashley and her Playhouse team brought back the Arts in Education programming performed LIVE once again and has added an additional element of free lunches for Title 1 Schools who come to see the educational shows for free. Ashley has added the ability to feed the children who would most likely miss their lunch periods by attending the arts programming at the venue. 

Before becoming managing director, Ashley transformed the box office as General Manager and prior to that created the bar and concessions program that the venue still uses today.

The 2023 40 Under Forty judges were business advisor with the Small Business Development Center business advisor Nelson Merchan and Dr. Nikki Wingate, Associate Professor of Marketing at Sacred Heart University’s Welch College of Business and Technology.

Paltauf lives in Bethel with her husband Matt and two adorable twin 4-year-old girls Abigail and Charlotte. 

Congratulations to Ashley Paltauf on this prestigious honor and thank you for all you do for The Ridgefield Playhouse and the community at large.
