Holly Adams has been working in the entertainment industry since the age of 13. She got her start as a ballerina and lived the gypsy lifestyle for over 20 years moving from San Francisco to Milwaukee and finally New York City dancing her way across the globe. Her first acting role was the lead as “The Girl” in the short film, Betaville, which earned her a cult following and roles in close to 20 other underground films in New York. In 1994, Holly wrote, directed and starred in “Nymphomania“, which was picked up by the British Film Institute and opened their History of the Avant-Garde series video entitled The Cinema of Transgression. Nymphomania has screened four times at the Museum of Modern Art in 2018 and 2025 and Shadows of Waste screened in Hollywood at the Chinese Theater in 2022 as part of the Silicon Beach Film Festival.
Now living in Albuquerque, NM where up to 30% film tax incentives are available, Holly has written, directed and produced the short films: Hot Dog, Here Boy, Plots, Leather Kittens Gone Bad, An Unlikely Hero, The Gift, The Man-App, Shadows of Waste and a music video for a Los Angeles pop star. Holly is in development on a musical version of her feature film, “The Man-App“, a romantic comedy where you can have “the man of your dreams at the touch of a button”. Holly is currently in post production on her first feature film, an action crime road picture, “No Place” cast almost entirely with New Mexico talent. The film will be playing the festival circuit throughout 2026.

Mary Ashley Bannister
Mary Ashley Bannister’s love for improv was sparked in high school as a theater major at the School for Creative and Performing Arts, a less glamorous version of the FAME school in Lexington, KY. Many years later in Los Angeles, she became slightly obsessive and studied at IO West, Second City Hollywood, UCB, The Pack Theater, WE Improv, and MI Westside, along with many workshops and master classes with some of the world’s best improvisers. Her favorite teacher, Holly Laurent, taught her that the most captivating things about a performer are often the things that make them unique, which they are the most afraid of showing others. She also performed regularly around the city on a musical improv team and a monoscenes team. Here in Albuquerque, she has taken classes at the Box and ImprovNM. She believes strongly in the power of improv for communication, self-confidence, resilience, collaboration, risk-taking, and, of course, the friends we make along the way.
