Hannah Difalco is a current junior at Henry Ford II High School who won “Female Supporting Actress” in 4Frenzy’s Spring 2021 Theatre category. She has been involved in theatre since she was 7 years old.

“I think I’ll always carry the people skills that I’ve learned from theatre. I learned time management and how to work efficiently,” she said. “I can comfortably socialize with anyone because of the social skills theatre helps me gain.”

Before a show, Difalco does vocal warmups in order to shake off nerves. The cast and crew also lay on the stage behind the curtain to feel united. She believes that the people involved in her productions are like family.

“The theatre director (Kirstin Carolin) is a parent figure to us, she helps us with all our problems and she’s someone we all can go to when we feel like we need someone.” said Difalco. “The cast and crew are like siblings, we are really close and always try to make people feel welcome and safe in our family environment.”

To manage both schoolwork and theatre, Difalco utilized class time as well as student support. When she goes home after theatre rehearsals, she finishes up her homework.

Not only does she excel in theatre, but Difalco is also very involved at her school. She is an active member of the National Honor Society, International Thespian Society, and the French Honor Society.

We wish you the best of luck in the future, Hannah!
