Noam is a third-year student double-majoring in History and Jewish Studies, with a focus on Holocaust Studies. She transferred to UofT last year, and started signing on to participate in campus theatre shows before her transfer had even been officially approved. Noam grew up dancing and acting, and has loved having the opportunity to choreograph, dance, act, and lip-sync her way through multiple campus theatre shows these past couple of years. This year, she is excited to not only get to be behind the scenes choreographing and on the stage performing, but also in the Drama Coalition championing the incredible work done by UofT students in creating a vibrant and engaging campus theatre culture. If you ever want to approach Noam with a question or concern but are put-off by her allegedly intimidating posture and gait, please feel free to use the following topics as icebreakers: Fosse dance, book recommendations, Waitress, or her dog, Freddie Barkury.
