Mrs. Estes is a graduate from California State University, Long Beach. She has taught for thirteen years as an English teacher until the current school year. Once her own children were old enough to allow her to take on the demanding schedule of a theatre director, she seized the opportunity to teach the subject for which she has the most passion. She has been in Rivertowne Players' production of Sister Act in the role of Sister Mary Patrick, Queen Lilian in Shrek the Musical, and Mrs. Santa/Perfume girl in Elf. That last one was “Faaaaabulous!” She currently serves on the executive board for Rivertowne Repertory Theatre and is the Eastern NC Regional Representative for NC Thespians. She would like to thank her right-hand man in life and backstage, her husband, Bill Estes. She would also like to thank her mentor, Aaron Williams, and many other extremely talented theatre folks in the New Bern theatre community.

Kailyn Levins has been a stage manager since junior year and senior year (her last year). She first got into theater sophomore year being a tech helper then moved up. She was always shy but theater has helped her reach out of her comfort zone. Outside of school Kailyn paints, plays electric guitar and ukulele. Her dream is to become a veterinarian or vet assistant which she earned her vet assistant certification in Animal Science. Kailyn works very hard for what she wants and does not care about what other people think of her. She is a trying individual, and she is very bold.
