Oh, hello!

It's Hannah here! I'm having a blast living and working in Chicago- the lion's share of my work here has been in musical theatre, Shakespeare, and new works, and I'm down for any project that's challenging and fun (bonus points if there are fantastic puns in the script).

​

Let's talk type! I am your...

  • Quirky Office Assistant

  • Feisty Shakespearean Heroine

  • Merry Mischief Maker

  • Headstrong Activist

  • Musical Theatre Broad

  • Artsy Best Friend

  • Type A Older Sister

  • Cheeky Nurse

  • Cheerful Cat Owner in a pet food commercial

​

I hold a B.A. in Theatre and English Literature from Ohio Wesleyan University, and I'm a graduate of the Music Program at Second City. I'm represented by Firestarter Entertainment (FSE) for Theatre work and Dream Team Talent for On Camera work. I also have three cats (Thisbe, Puck, and Freyja). If you'd like to get a general sense of my vibe, check out this Emily Dickinson poem.

​

I've just had a busy spring and summer with Frog & Toad at Chicago Children's Theatre, Romeo & Juliet with Midsommer Flight, and Les Mis at Uptown Music Theatre- this holiday season, I'm looking forward to performing in A Christmas Carol with Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, as well as auditioning, teaching Shakespeare and musical theatre, and cuddling with the cats!!​​
