Chloe Shroff - Assistant Theatre Arts Director

My name is Chloe Shroff and I'm excited for my second year at Cypress Creek! I attended Lamar University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Theatre and Dance. While at Lamar, I became a member of the Alpha Psi Omega Pi Omicron Cast and served as the theatre honor society's president. I have worked professionally as an actor both on stage and on camera. I also spent seven years working as a Producer, Editor, and Writer for Joshua Productions, a Beaumont, Texas based video production company. Throughout my professional career, I have been fortunate to work with celebrities such as television icon Marc Summers, actor and activist Geena Davis, and Broadway performer Alex Brightman. I developed a love for theatre education while working as a long-term Guest Teacher at Summer Creek High School in Humble, Texas during the Covid-19 pandemic. That group of students will always hold a special place in my heart. Performance is my passion, and it brings me great joy to share that with my students. Words cannot express how truly delighted I am to be at Creek!
