Meet Kaleb Claypool, the mastermind behind the glamorous persona, the one and only Anita Kure! Anita isn't just a ticketing sensation but a maestro in the world of drag, captivating audiences with a wardrobe that sparkles as much as the stage she graces. Pronouns? Darling, it's a symphony of he/she/they, a gender-bending extravaganza that keeps everyone on their toes.
Professionally, Kaleb is a seasoned ticketing professional, bringing a passion for creating seamless event experiences. With a keen eye for detail and years of industry expertise, he excels in managing ticketing operations for hundreds of events internationally.
Beyond his professional achievements, Kaleb is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and community engagement through impactful nonprofit work. As the ticketing lead for Equality Utah's Annual Allies Gala, he ensures a seamless experience, contributing to the success of this important event. Additionally, Kaleb serves as the Development Chair for the Millcreek Arts Council, playing a key role in fundraising efforts to support artistic initiatives. His commitment extends to the Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, where he serves as Membership Chair, actively promoting diversity and inclusion within the business community.
But there's more to Anita than ticketing triumphs. She's not just the queen orchestrating symphonies of ticket sales; she's a dazzling performer who shared the limelight with Tony Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, leaving the audience swooning from the sheer fabulousness of the moment.
Off the stage, Anita Kure is a master multitasker, juggling a paintbrush, a spatula, and a green thumb. With a love for painting, baking, and tending to a lush indoor garden, Anita's backstage world is as vibrant as her performances.
Love is also in the air for Kaleb, with a fiancé, Jonathan Pettersson, and a furry family that includes Luna, a six-year-old cat, and Bubbas, a six-year-old black Lab. Home is where the heart is, and for Anita, it's a place filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of cherished companions.
Anita Kure, the dazzling diva who commands the stage, has a story that goes beyond the glitz and glamour. In the quiet moments backstage, Anita reflects on the profound impact of Cami, Kaleb's best friend who bravely faced cancer and left an indelible mark on his heart. Cami's spirit and courage were not just a source of inspiration; they became the driving force behind Anita's participation in the American Cancer Society's Cancer's a Drag this year.
In the world of Anita Kure, every twirl, every note, and every burst of glitter is a tribute to Cami's enduring spirit. The stage becomes a canvas for celebrating the value of life, a poignant reminder of a friendship that transcends time and space. As Anita takes the spotlight, she carries with her the legacy of Cami, a beacon of strength and inspiration that continues to shine brightly.
