Johanna Gallagher Profile

I’m a versatile and emotionally intuitive performer with a particular strength in character-driven storytelling. My most recent performance was in an original one-woman show, Queen of the Bees, staged in May 2025 at The Sanctuary Theatre in Belfast. The piece showcased my ability to hold an audience single-handedly, blending pathos and humour with physical and vocal range. I’ve previously performed in community and semi-professional productions across Northern Ireland, as well as in rehearsed readings of new writing. I bring a strong sense of presence, a deep understanding of subtext, and a natural connection to text and audience. My performance style is grounded, expressive, and responsive, shaped by years of observing human behaviour in real-life settings as a previous nurse and emersed in community and semi-professional theatre. I thrive in roles that require emotional depth, subtlety, and transformation.
