Hadley Evans Nash (she/her) is a director, actor, and playwright from the gorgeous hills of Middlebury Vermont.

Hadley holds a BA in Theatre and Women and Gender Studies from Saint Olaf College, and trained at Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre Institute, and Shakespeare and Company. Hadley is the Artistic Director and Founder of Brick by Brick Players, a theatre company that always employs at least fifty percent female and non-binary artists.
