"I feel very fortunate to have had Gretchen as the assistant director of Fool for Love. A fresh view is always welcomed from an AD, but her assistance went far beyond what I could have hoped - she added great insights when breaking down the work with the actors and production team. She also designed the music for the show, which turned out to be a major component of the overall production. We worked very well together; her co-direction was a great asset to a successful show." - Van Quattro, Director

"Collaborating with Gretchen Hahn for This Is Our Youth was a dream. She is effective and creative - she establishes the parameters of the world of the characters and enables actors to explore and discover. A supporter of actor impetus, a meticulous mind for detail, and a vision for a voice that reaches far beyond the body, Gretchen is a powerful and compelling artist and director. Each project is fueled by her spunk and fiery need to explore human relationships." - Blake Lee, Actor
"Gretchen's gift as a director is her ability to bring out the absolute best performance in her actors. She lets you follow your instincts, but is always there as a guiding hand to help you. There is never a moment onstage that you don't feel 100% supported by her." - Alyssa Van Hooser, Actor

Gretchen's preparation as a director allowed me and my fellow actors to explore and create in an environment that was open, encouraging and safe. As an actor under Gretchen's direction, I knew that I was in good company, and a part of something special." - Tommy Stuart, Actor
"Working with Gretchen on Recent Tragic Events was an eye opening experience. She has a great vocabulary when discussing theatrical elements with both designers and actors. Gretchen has such an imaginative mind and overall ease when it comes to exploring the world of the play with actors. I would absolutely work with her again."
