The Garden Theatre
Who's Who

Nora Hahn
as Gov. Ann Richards
Nora returns to The Garden Theatre after appearing as Sr. Aloysius in Doubt, Clairee in Steel Magnolias, Gov. Ma Ferguson in Bonnie & Clyde, and Ann Richards in Ann. For her performance in Doubt, Nora was a finalist for Best Actress in the Houston Press Houston Theatre Awards. Nora has appeared at theatres such as Stageworks, Theatre Southwest, and Theatre Suburbia. Her favorite activity other than theater is running. She’s completed three marathons and likens the preparation for Ann to training for a long race: it requires grit, determination and many lonely hours listening to your iPod. Thankfully, telling a story as inspirational as that of Ann Richards makes it all worthwhile. Nora thanks Deb Schultz for her guidance and direction, and Logan Vaden for allowing her to take on this role. She also thanks her family for their constant love and support. Finally, she thanks every audience member for spending an afternoon or evening with Ann -- keep the faith!
