In addition to baseball, Claudia was passionate about many things including; the theatre, musicals, collecting DVDs, and fighting for the underdog and speaking up for what is right. She loved almost every genre of music but Broadway Musicals had her heart!
Some of her favorites musicals: RENT, Momma Mia, and Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat - she adored the Village Theatre's production with Cheyenne Jackson and has followed his career ever since.
I truly believe she started to love the theater during her High School years at Mercer Island. She did an amazing job in one of their productions "Conference of the Birds" where she had to maneuver across the stage while reciting her lines and operating a rather large bird puppet. She worked it like a pro and really enjoyed the experience (not to mention I think she was psyched that her classmate working with her was the now very famous Joel McHale). She went on to enjoy attending the Village Theatre in Issaquah with the folks and owned (I believe) every single musical production in her vast collection of DVDs.
