Mrs. Lewkow is currently in her 16th year of teaching in the Summit Hill School District. Having been involved in musical theater for the past 30 years both on the stage and behind the scenes, Mrs. Lewkow is no stranger to the theater. Mrs. Lewkow is thrilled to have such an amazing team to work beside her. Creating musicals with young performers is one of my favorite things to do! Mrs. Lewkow would like to thank you for supporting the Hilda Walker Drama Club, and hopes you enjoy the performance!
