Hannah Wolf (she/her/hers) is a theatre artist, raised in Juneau, Alaska, a town with one road. She's now a lesbian and lives in Los Angeles.

Hannah directs new plays and musicals and subverts old ones. She experiments with form, content, and the role of the audience and excels at scaffolding audience interaction in traditional and site-specific spaces. Hannah makes theatre that feels like a sporting event or concert while collaborating with bands, playwrights, choreographers, magicians, chefs, brewers, and many others. She holds process and product in equal weight and strives to create rehearsal rooms and audience spaces rooted in community, equity, and respect.

Hannah has directed and developed work at the Geffen Playhouse, B Street Theater, La Jolla's WOW Festival, The Playwright’s Center, Perseverance Theatre, Fusebox Festival, IAMA Theater Company, Echo Theater Company, The Fountain Theatre, Dixon Place, The Vineyard Theatre, Ensemble Studio Theatre, and many others. She’s taught and led workshops at Louisiana State University, the University of California Riverside, Pomona College, the University of Texas at Austin, and The Kennedy Center, among others.

Hannah founded and produced the Los Angeles community-building organization MeetCute with fellow director Katie Lindsay. Hannah created the Ask A Director blog, featuring 200+ directors worldwide, and has written about performance and theatre-making for culturebot.org and howlround.com. She’s currently the senior artistic producer at the Ojai Playwrights Conference and an adjunct professor at the University of California Riverside.
