Nicole Chaplin
Owner & Director
Nicole is excited to be the director of Drama Kids of Greater Akron. As a mom of two adorable and incredibly dramatic children, she understands the importance of a quality after-school drama program. She has the unique ability to bring a child’s self-esteem up and help them learn that they can accomplish anything. She believes that everyone should embrace their fun, weird, quirky side and credits her many years in the theater/ drama/dance world for being comfortable in her own skin. That confidence is something that Drama Kids brings out in all of its students and one of the many reasons why she was so determined to bring Drama Kids to the Greater Akron area. Besides the theater she is a lover of books, cooking, and her cat Chapo.
