The Addams Family - July 01 - July 02, 2022
Roy Waldron Elementary School
Crew Who's Who
-
Dr. Joanne O'Kain
Director
Joanne loves bringing together students and adults of varying backgrounds and talents and working towards one goal. With Addams specifically, she hopes students walk away knowing they have talent, their uniqueness makes them stronger, and they have a theatre family here that loves them just as they are. Each show or trip taken creates relationships that will last a long time. She hopes students know that whether they are doing one show for fun, or want to continue in theatre/music/art/dance that they have a home at Carpe Artista. She loves crafting, traveling, and playing games when she is not working on a show.

Amy Royer
Choregrapher
Amy loves getting to be a part of each student's journey. The arts educators she had growing up made a huge difference in her life and greatly impacted who she is today both personally and professionally. She hopes to have that kind of an impact with the students at Carpe Artista. She loves watching her students find their passions and hone their craft. Watching them grow as a performer is so rewarding, whether that is throughout the course of one show or across years of doing shows with Carpe and/or in schools. Amy hopes her students always remember that God is the source of their talents and their provider of every opportunity to share those talents. She prays they would always honor him with their gifts! Outside of Carpe Artista, she enjoys performing, being involved with LifePoint Church Riverdale, traveling, and trying new restaurants. She is a wife and mother (Everett,5, and Emery, 3) and a fourth-grade teacher for Rutherford County Schools.

Kelsey Lepley
Music Director
Kelsey loves working with the students and seeing their passion for the arts. Everyone is so supportive of each other and it’s so fun to see everyone come together and work toward a common goal. Spending time with her family is huge; she also loves a good board or card game! Kelsey's students inspire her. They’re so incredibly amazing and talented and watching them pursue and reach their goals is so wonderful!
