Amy Estes BIO

AMY ESTES (managing director) Recent thrills: attending the 2012 Drama Desk Awards ceremony as a nominee for Marvell Rep's production of THE THREEPENNY OPERA, directing the first staged reading of NIGHT GAMES, producing the first production of SPRING'S AWAKENING with an age-appropriate cast, launching Marvell Rep's Theatre for Young Audiences initiative! Amy founded Marvell Rep with artistic director Lenny Leibowitz in 2010, after serving as managing director of New Harmony Theatre and helping to develop its Repertory Project. She was the first Rea Fellow in Theatre Management at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, where she wrote the economic impact statement for the "new" Guthrie facility on the Mississippi River and launched programming at the Guthrie Lab to develop a larger audience for the expanded Guthrie's operations. At Riverside Theatre in Iowa City, Amy launched the Riverside Shakespeare Festival, spearheaded its fundraising campaign, oversaw the design and construction of its outdoor theatre (a joint venture with the City), and introduced rotating repertory in its second season. She began her career at Berkshire Theatre Festival, where she worked for five summers, and at Vassar College, where she prepared for New York Stage and Film's annual residency at the Powerhouse Theater. Amy first experienced the joys of producing works in rotating repertory as a grad student at Alabama Shakespeare Festival. She is a graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy and has her BA from Vassar College and her MFA from University of Alabama.
