The Directors
Our Directors bring their vast experience to students!

He has traveled all over the world working in theatres from China, to Scotland, to Canada and all over the United States. Mr. Minor has been a Texas Thespians board member since 2017 and continues to work all over Texas, assisting directors in need as well as leading workshops with students, passionate about technical theatre. His pride and joy are his two, amazing daughters. This is his 15th year in the classroom over the past 20 years. Go Panthers!
Ms. Chuter is thrilled to return to the Klein Oak Theatre family! With experience directing everything from high-energy musicals to deeply moving plays, she holds a BFA in Theatre with an emphasis in Musical Theatre and Dramaturgy, and a minor in Music (Vocal Performance). She’s passionate about creating a vibrant, supportive space where students feel empowered to face creative challenges, build confidence, and shine on or off stage. Theatre is a family affair—Ms. Chuter met her husband in their college theatre program, and their son is a teaching artist in Colorado. When she’s got time to relax, Ms. Chuter loves diving into pop culture, sipping coffee/tea, and spending time with JoJo, their rescue staffy with undeniable star quality who might just make a surprise appearance!
