Claire Haupt

Coordinator, Program Operations

Claire Haupt (she/her) joined Music Will as the Coordinator for Program Operations in fall of 2025, bringing a decade of non-profit management experience to this new role.

Claire holds a BA from the University of Chicago and is experienced in theatrical and livestream actual play production management, as well as non-profit arts administration and operations. Claire’s production credits include work on the production management teams at Dorset Theater Festival and Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and features work at beloved Chicago theatrical institutions including Steppenwolf Theatre Co., Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and more.

In her spare time, you can find her chronically online as a podcast host, twitch streamer, and DMing or playing in various tabletop roleplaying groups. In high school, Claire was forced to choose between theater and music, leaving behind a decade of experience in upright bass and piano. She’s already re-exploring those instruments and finding joy since starting at Music Will. Catch her also visiting her mom, planning events with pals across the country and world, or trying to stop her cat from stealing every die she rolls.

With a career in organization and operational planning, streamlining and optimizing workflow systems for individuals and communities, and executing memorable experiences for all, Claire is excited to bring her passion for personable optimization and community to the Music Will team.
