Hannah Harvey is a contemporary Appalachian storyteller whose boundless energy is undeniably contagious. With equal parts humor and gravity, she draws on her Ph.D. in Performance Ethnography to develop her knowledge of Appalachian folklore into theatrical works that highlight the lived stories of the region’s people and places. The strong folk heroines who emerge from the traditions of her native Northeast Tennessee and beyond show audiences how the past continues to live in the present—connecting memory, geography, and enduring identity. Harvey has performed widely, from national workshops for physicians and keynotes for multinational tech leaders, to festivals in the U.K. and intercultural workshops in Morocco, and in three storytelling courses with The Great Courses. Critics have called her work “very funny” (Theatre Guide London) and “deeply moving” (Classical Voice of North Carolina).
