Hannah Summer
as Princess Fiona
Hannah Summer has been a part of the HLT community for several years now and can be found volunteering her time on the stage and off. She has been in shows such as Mamma Mia, 9 to 5, The Marvelous Wonderettes, and now Shrek. She has also been a part of the Summer Theater Institute for four years as a camp counselor and lead set design and art. She won a Zenon for Set Art for Matilda and Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. She would like to dedicate this show to her late father who always loved the movie SHREK and made it a family staple for movie nights, and to her husband who has been so supportive through this entire process. She says, “Thank you HLT for continuing to allow me to express my art through multiple avenues, and thank you, Cassidy Hitt, for being my right hand woman for set art and always taking on the monstrous challenge that is teaching me to dance well enough for the stage.”
