Meet Chloe, our director!
Chloe holds a B.A. in Theater and Education from Bates College and an M.A. in Drama Therapy from NYU. She spent nearly a decade as the Executive Director of a children’s theater in Boston and has devoted much of the past twenty years to children’s theater, arts education, and the transformative power of creative expression.
