Kaylee Wright Kaylee Wright is a Freshman at UH Hilo. Although she is taking up and exploring research in business related fields, she has been passionate about stories and acting since she was a young girl. Her most notable Performing Arts achievement was being able to perform in her school's rock opera hōʻike at the 2023 American High School Theatre Festival held in Edinburgh, Scotland. Along with her Kamehameha Schools castmates, she was able to bring the story of Paiʻea Kamehameha to the United Kingdom with singing, dancing, and lots of sparkly clothing. While this was exciting, it was far from her favorite role. That honor would have to go to the character of Michael Banks, whom she played in her school's rendition of Mary Poppins during her senior year of high school. Although not pursuing it professionally, Kaylee wishes to become as engaged as she can with theatre, for she believes she owes it everything for forming her into the person who she is today.
