Assistant Director
Tim Lewis
Tim is pleased to be Assistant Director once again for “She Kills Monsters”. Tim was Assistant Director the first time Ixion did the show. I have been seen just recently in “Turn, Turn, Turn” with Ixion Theatre. I was also in the first production of that show. I have performed mostly with Riverwalk Theatre and have been awarded a few awards over the years and was also in a Professional Touring Company performing the lead role of “Rumpelstiltskin”. I hope you enjoy this show as much as I do! Thank you and I hope you will attend the other shows that Ixion will be doing this season!
