🎭 Actor Spotlight: Hannah Rose as Portia 🎭

Hannah Rose is stoked to be making her Northern Starz debut! She took nearly a 10-year hiatus from the stage and cannot even begin to describe her excitement to be back. She has been taking voice lessons for the past year and a half to prepare her for this journey.

She would like to thank her vocal coach, Jenessa Iverson, and her bestie, Ava Jo, for all the help and support. She couldn’t have done this without them!

“Yawn. Rhyming couplet. That is so 1580’s.”

After a sold-out opening weekend, Something Rotten! returns this Thursday for the final weekend of performances.
