After having been associated with the cooperative association Het Werkteater for many years, she worked for the theater companies De Mexican Hond and Orkater and played mainly in new plays by homegrown, sometimes written for her.
Zuiderhoek was a member of the innovative theater group Het Werkteater from 1974 to 1982. 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 and 2015 she played Queen Wilhelmina in the musical Soldaat van Oranje.
Zuiderhoek lives in Amsterdam and was together for 28 years with jazz musician Willem Breuker, who died in 2010.
In 2012, two years after the death of her husband Willem Breuker, the documentary Het Nieuwe Huis van Olga Zuiderhoek was made. 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 book contains illustrations by Peter van Straaten.

The Northerners is a 1992 Dutch film 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. Van Warmerdam himself has said that he considers this his best film.
