Hannah is a catalytic and rambunctious actor, singer, playwright, and voiceover artist. She loves full-bodied and multi-sensory storytelling and is bold, energetic, and specific in her approach. Her southern roots ground her work and add texture and tactility to her performances. Whether working on classical or contemporary texts, she takes big risks, strives for authenticity, and a rich balance between strength and vulnerability. She will belt your ears off, play you the mandolin, and make you one heck of a grilled cheese sandwich.
