ABBIE HANNAH
I first discovered musical theatre at age 7 when attending a local performing arts school. It was at this school that my passion for performing grew and I realised I wanted a career in the industry. Having starred in musicals such as Little Shop of Horrors, Narnia, Matilda and The Wizard of Oz (playing the roles of Audrey, The White Witch, Matilda and The Tinman), I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field of work.
After continuing to take musical theatre and singing classes until the age of 16, I completed a UAL Extended Diploma in Performance and Production Arts at LIPA Sixth Form College. I have also studied Musical Theatre at IC Theatre. My proudest achievement was in 2019 when I won best actor at Farmaggedon for my performance at their yearly scare attraction. I have now been teaching for 5 years and enjoy bringing my performance experience and knowledge to all the classes I teach.
