Noa Carlson

Noa Carlson dabbles in many realms. She is a proud theatre-maker, actor, stage manager, and biologist. She is blessed to work in theater on Tlingít Aaní with Perseverance Theatre, Juneau Ghost Light Theater, and Theatre Alaska. Born and raised in St. Paul, MN, she found great interest in all things theatrical, beginning as an actor in her middle school production of The Music Man to stage managing her high school’s production of Mary Zimmerman’s The Secret in the Wings. Post-college, she worked in the Twin Cities on Social-Emotional education at a traveling children’s theater, and at Penumbra Theatre and Mixed Blood Theatre on projects related to Black racial healing and community artistic work, respectively. I am grateful to Theatre Alaska for the opportunity to create art and tell stories related to climate change that speaks to the need to care for the land, remember our history, and adapt to rapid changes we humans are causing.

Thank you so much Earnest, Rhonda, Sarah, and Conor for your stories. As well, I'd like to thank Kylie, Aurora, Reed, and Sydney for their time, labor, and support. My gratitude for your friendship is boundless.
