The Hi-Liners non-profit youth theatre organization has hired Esther Margaret O'Farrell as its first marketing director.

O'Farrell developed her management and marketing skills at Microsoft.

She has worked in the non-profit sector for the past ten years and said she is passionate about fine arts opportunities for young people.

"I am excited to be part of the next phase of growth for The Hi-Liners," O'Farrell declared. "They have been members of the South King County arts community since 1966, so their rich history combined with their youth programming is the opportunity of a lifetime.

"It is my hope as a "Hi-Liner", that we inspire young people, so that they may aspire to things greater than they have ever hoped, dreamed or imagined."
