Clare Halstead
- Actress
- Additional Crew
Born in Nevada, Clare grew up in a small town in Wisconsin known for
its extensive climate changes. Although she started out playing soccer,
she quickly made her move to the stage in '98 in the play Star Struck
as a cute little snail hunter. She then proceeded to spend her
childhood on the stage of Zona Gale Theater. After playing the role of
Queen Fairy in Sleeping Beauty, she quickly impressed Utah University
drama professor Xan Johnson. It was Dr. Xan Johnson who gave her a
taste of emotionally deep dramatic works by casting her as a Flunkie in
the production of John Lennon & Me in the summer of 2000. It was also
that summer that she started her extensive theater training with
teachers who have studied all over the world. It was there that she
found her deep love of William Shakespeare, and the ability to move a
audience. In 2006 she left the director speechless during her audition
for Juliet/Anabelle Stackpoole in the production of Romeo & Juliet,
Together and Alive At Last. It would be the role that Clare would never
forget playing. After graduating high school, Clare moved around the
country for a few years before auditioning for the B.F.A program before
the theater professors at University Of Stevens Point. She's currently
attending the University of Wisconsin Green Bay to get her B.A in
Theatre.
