Claire D. Kolheim

Born and raised in Miami, FL, to loving and supportive Haitian parents, Claire began performing from the tender age of... well, let's just say she was very, very young! Throughout grade school, high school, and college, she was always involved in music, dramatic arts, and other performing arts. However, it wasn't until 2007 when Claire's true calling, love, and passion for the arts drew her out from a thriving career in public education and into the spotlight.

After enrolling in the Boston Conservatory for Music, Claire's career took a fast ride upwards and continues to soar! This highly sought after performer has travelled throughout the United States and performed on various professional theatre stages througout the Midwest, New England, and most recently the South. In 2011, Claire was awarded the coveted Ostrander Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for her performance as "Sarah" in RAGTIME. In 2012, Claire was awarded another Ostrander Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama for her performance as "Elizabeth" in IN THE NEXT ROOM... or the vibrator play.

Claire holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from Florida A&M University and a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix. She is also a member of Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority, and Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity for Women. Claire currently resides in Memphis, TN with her husband and pooch, Kingston "the King" Kolheim. Love to Foxy.
