Who's Who at NCT |
 |
| |
| |
| De Ann S. Jones: Founder |
| DeAnn, Founder of The North Carolina Theatre, has played an important role in the education of children in the performing arts with the conception of NCT's Kids on Broadway program. She has been honored with the Raleigh Medal of Arts for Extraordinary Achievement in the Arts. |

| William Jones: Executive Director/Producer |
| William W. Jones, Executive Director/Producer, has been with NCT for over 20
years and oversees all production aspects on the main stage, Kids on
Broadway education initiative and overall operational aspects of the
Theatre. It was his creative vision that brought the critically acclaimed
production of The Sound of Music starring the Von Trapp children and Lou
Diamond Phillips in the reprisal of his Tony-nominated role in The King and
I to Raleigh. He has shown a consistent ability to balance the roles of
artist and business manager while raising the national profile of NCT and
renewing a focus on youth education, performance and outreach. |

| Lisa Grele Barrie: Managing Director |
| Lisa joined NC Theatre as Development Director in June 2003 and has led a dynamic philanthropic culture within the organization. She attributes her successful 25+ year marketing/development career to an impassioned and productive focus on creativity, communication and collaboration. Lisa graduated from Bucknell University and got her professional start in the Boston advertising agency world. She went on to work as a sales rep for The New Yorker, as a marketing specialist at Talbots, as the principal of her own marketing communications consulting firm and as the Development & Communications Director for Gilda's Club Metro Detroit. She feels grateful to have found her true calling at NC Theatre and takes great pride in engaging the board, staff and the greater Raleigh community in activities that advance the Theatre’s mission and vision. She enjoys spending time with her family in their home in Oakwood, everything arts-related (especially musical theatre), gardening, reading, tennis and doting on her three cats. Her secret desire is to be on stage - shhhhh! |

| Carolee Baxter: Production Manager |
| Carolee joined NCT seven years ago, just in time for the first Kids on Broadway production, Godspell. She was hooked! In her current position she is involved with many aspects of theatre production and management which she says is as close to heaven on earth as you can get. She owes her love of musical theatre to her mom, Jacquie, and her sister, Candy, with whom she spent many hours singing show tunes. She holds an MS degree in communications from Florida State University and spent a glorius semester in London studying theatre. After years being employed in advertising and marketing, Carolee thanks the NCT Curtain Callers for being the path back to her dream job. Outside of NCT, Carolee is on the board of B3 Systems, Inc., cheers on the ECU Pirates (thanks for choosing them Stefanie!) and listens to her favorite band, The Obtruders. Special thanks to NCT's development team for keeping non-profit theatre alive and to all the performers who put their hearts on the line at every audition. |

Emily thoroughly enjoys interacting with the spunky, generous and always entertaining individuals that support the theatre through the Annual Fund. She also embraces her theatre roles as grant writer, program development cheerleader and government relations advisor. Her favorite (and most challenging) role is mother to her “perfect” toddler, Virginia, who never throws temper tantrums or refuses to eat the homemade, organic, vegetarian dishes she lovingly prepares for her. She thanks her supportive husband, Tres, for allowing her to listen to musical theatre more often than Iron Maiden these days. |
