Welcome to Derry, Bootleggers, and Theatre Mayhem with Hannah Dolson
Description
Hannah Dolson returns to the podcast — singer, performer, barista, theatre kid at heart, and one of the most versatile artists in Norfolk County. This time she’s here to talk about her role in Nice Work If You Can Get It, the prohibition-era comedy musical now running at the Simcoe Little Theatre until December 7th.
In this episode we get into
What it really feels like to direct a full production and why “the buck stops with you”
How she transforms into a 1930s bootlegger and slips in and out of wild accents
The behind-the-scenes chaos of sound checks, live audiences, and unexpected laughter
Why performing onstage is somehow less stressful than directing
Life with her hairless cat, Buddy, and the surprisingly intense grooming routines
Theatre culture in Norfolk and why the local arts scene hits different
If you’re into theatre, local stories, comedy, jazz-era vibes, or just great conversation with a brilliant human who shows up everywhere in Norfolk’s arts community — this episode is for you.
