Hannah Eden Chodos is an actor, director, and teaching artist, interested in ensemble theatre practice and other ways to bring people together into listening.  

She is a Vanguard member of the Los Angeles-based theater company, The Actors’ Gang, and has performed in many of its productions on stage in Culver City, as well as on tour throughout the United States and internationally. She is trained in the company’s uniquely evolved form of commedia dell’arte – a highly stylized and physicalized form for improvisation.  

Hannah has worked as a Teaching Artist with The Actors’ Gang’s Prison Project since 2008, and served as Program Manager for the Project from 2017-2025 – working to bring this form of theater into prisons throughout the state of California as a vehicle for rehabilitation, and to effect systems and culture change.

From 2014-2016, Hannah trained with the Polish company, Teatr Piesn Kozla, (Song of the Goat Theater). Based on her work with that company, she developed a workshop for performers: The Space Between: Listening and Relationship in Ensemble Performance, and has led iterations of this workshop in Los Angeles and around the world.  

She holds a BA in Religion from Dartmouth College and an MA in Ensemble Theatre from Rose Bruford College (London).
