Hannah Holub - Actress

Hannah was born in Sealy,
Texas in 1993. Hannah’s passion for performing began shortly thereafter.
Starting dance lessons at the age of 3, Hannah fell in love with the
stage. At the age of 4, she made her acting debut landing the role of
Gretel in Austin County Community Theater’s (ACCT) production of The Sound
of Music. The next 14 years Hannah performed in every community
theater performance, summer theater performance, dance recital, and public
school performance that she was able to fit into her schedule (Hannah was also
an avid multi-sport athlete). Oddly enough, it was on the softball field as an
8-year-old, that Hannah was given her nickname: Hollywood.)
After her graduation from
Sealy High School in 2011, Hannah began her college career pursuing a degree in
special education at UTSA & TWU. However, she soon realized that her
heart belonged in two places: The University of Texas at Austin, and on
stage. She decided to throw caution to the wind and applied to UT’s
College of Theatre & Dance to follow her dream. Hannah’s acceptance into
this program last semester was the first step on her journey. Since
re-joining the acting world, Hannah has once again filled her schedule with as
many performances and roles that will fit her schedule. Her first college
stage production was in the recent performance of Enter A Woman, Pretty
Enough, an original play by UT MFA playwright: Diana Small.
Ultimately Hannah would like to be a film actress. With that in mind, she has
auditioned ferociously and is thrilled to have already performed in two student
short films, as well as having the honor to currently be a cast member of ReelWay
Film Productions’ short film, “On Borrowed Time”, and Twitchy Dolphin Flix’s
feature film, “The Last Beautiful Girl.”
