CLAIRE WILCHER

Claire loves making NOISE! with her friends every month and wishes it was her full-time job. Since it's not, she teaches classes at various theaters around town, including Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre and ComedySportz Indianapolis. She's a proud seven-year member of CSz and, after thorough consideration, she has decided that her love for improv and musical theatre are neck-and-neck for the title of Thing That Claire Loves Most. She was just in the Phoenix Theatre's extended production of Avenue Q, so puppets are also in the running. Have fun!
