Chris Cipriaso

(she/her)

Chris took her very first call with IATSE Local 720 in Las Vegas back in March of 2014 and became a proud member in April of 2019. After exploring many of the crafts IATSE has to offer, she found her passion in Craft 2. Alongside her work as an A/V Tech extraordinaire, she serves as a Union Steward and Chair of the Local 720 Pride Committee.

Before joining IATSE, she owned and operated a mobile airbrush tanning business. Prior to that, she worked as a VIP host and club promoter at the first—and only—lesbian club/bar on the Las Vegas Strip.

She has always been a passionate advocate for LGBTQIA+ inclusion and workers’ rights, and she is honored to now serve as a Regional Coordinator for the International IATSE Pride Committee.

She currently lives in Henderson, NV with her beautiful wife, Tiffany, and their dogs, Hula and Alfonzo. Together, they have a big, blended family that includes her daughter, Kate; Tiffany’s three kids—Querstin, Dylan, and Kayla; and their wonderful grandkids, Ezzura and Sirinity.
