Estelle, who was a Hawthorne High School senior at the time, started the Summer Student Theatre Program in town a few years ago during the COVID lockdown.

"The main reason she organized this group was because the high school theatre club came to a halt during that time and it allowed those students interested to continue performing in an outdoor environment," her mom, Susan Barbieri, said. "It also allowed Estelle to pursue her passion as a writer and director."

Estelle is currently a film major at Hofstra University. This will be her third free performance with the Summer Student Theatre Program.
