Claire Budzik

After such an incredible performance as Rapunzel in Into the Woods, it comes as no surprise that Claire’s favorite musical features another blonde, Sondheim soprano that spends her youth locked away by an evil parental figure before a young man becomes compelled by her voice. In addition to Rapunzel (and two incredible ensemble roles in Pippin and Rocky), Claire played a pivotal role in HNH behind the scenes last year as the Co-Chair of Membership. Her talents for creating an inclusive social environment will certainly transfer well as she steps into a position as the Co-Chair of Inclusion and Accessibility in the year ahead. Thinking of Claire in the position gives me the same “Epiphany” each time: “God, That’s Good!”
