Nora Hahn

Nora Hahn made her big-screen debut in 2017, jumping right into the deep end with "Bully." In the film, she steps into the shoes of Principal Rutledge, the kind of school official you wish was real—tough, but with a genuine heart. The story tackles the aftermath of a 14-year-old student's suicide, a gut punch caused by relentless bullying from classmates. As Principal Rutledge, Nora's not just pushing paper or sitting behind a desk; she’s right in the thick of it, working alongside teachers and students, trying to stitch a shattered community back together. There’s this sense that she gets how heavy it all is, the real-life messiness and the pain that comes with it. But Nora’s roots go way deeper than just movies. Houston theater fans know her as a chameleon onstage—she's racked up more than 25 plays and musicals across the city. She’s played everything from comedic to tragic, and she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty with heavier roles. In fact, back in 2015, she snagged an Irene Ryan award nomination for playing Sister Aloysius in "Doubt – A Parable." That’s no small feat; it’s a role that demands grit, vulnerability, and a bit of steel in your spine, and Nora apparently brought it all. Whether she’s on stage or in front of the camera, she’s the kind of performer who pulls you right into the story, and honestly, she’s just getting started.
