After that she played with theater group Orkater in the plays Parking (1987) and Een goed hoofd (1991) and further with De Mexican Hond in the play Kaatje drowned (1993). In her later acting career she worked, among others, with the Dutch writers Kees van Kooten, Adriaan van Dis, Jan Donkers, Paul Haenen and Frank Houtappels, who sometimes also wrote a piece for her. In Theater Bellevue, Zuiderhoek has been playing the Christmas performance Peace on nature together with Kees Prins for years. In 1986 Olga won 'the golden heart of Rotterdam' with Danny and Roberta and in 2007 'the Audience Award' for the performance Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf directed by Gerardjan Rijnders.

In 2014 she wrote with journalist Ingrid Harms the cookbook Ongezouten Zuiderhoek about cooking without salt. Zuiderhoek gained experience with this because Breuker was prescribed a low salt diet.

The Northerners is a 1992 Dutch film written and directed by Alex van Warmerdam. The film was selected as the Dutch entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 65th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee. This black comedy takes places in the 1960s, in a surreal Dutch new town consisting of only a single street. It is a darkly amusing satire of bourgeois life and its repressions, pursuit of fantasies through a Freudian forest are all executed with visual and dramatic flair.
