The Lost ColonyPosts

Over 100 artists come to Roanoke Island from near and far to help bring The Lost Colony to life each summer, and here's another of these wonderful performers who will be gracing the sand of the Waterside Theatre all summer!

Hannah Szemereta is an actor, singer, dancer and stunt performer from Raleigh, North Carolina. She is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (B.F.A. Acting, 2026). Recent credits include The Moors (Huldey), A Little Night Music (Anne Egerman), The Great Comet of 1812, and Marie Antoinette. Outside of performing, Hannah has a profound passion for Peloton, kitchen dance parties, and Reese cups. She loves her family, the beach, and going on little “adventures”.
