ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Noah T. Parnes is a student at Yale University majoring in Ethnicity, Race, and Migration. His first play, eXXtra credit, was produced at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in 2015. Since then, he has written a number of other works, including ROADKILL, Buzz, and GoingUnder (performed in the NYC short play festival Cherry Picking in 2016, 2018, and 2019), The Bouncy Castle Play (written for The Brooklyn Generator's fifth season in 2017), and the libretto of What Comes Next, a musical produced at Yale as a senior thesis in music for his friend and writing partner, Jerome Walker. This coming spring, What Comes Next will be performed at Exeter Academy. Noah has studied playwriting under Donald Margulies and Deb Margolin, and in 2019 was commissioned to write Cabin 7, a full-length which was performed by the 2020 Fieldston Middle School drama workshop. This year, Noah is taking time off from his studies to write, study the art of drag, and sing with the Whiffenpoofs, an all-senior a cappella group at Yale. He is so grateful to have been given the opportunity to write Microcosm for this year’s drama workshop. Noah graduated from Fieldston in 2017.
