Theater as a space to find your voice

"My work sits at the intersection of education, devised theater, and ensemble-building. I’m interested in how storytelling, embodiment, and play can open space for students to investigate who they are, how they see others, and how those identities shift in relationship. I draw on theater as a tool for empathy—not as abstraction, but as practice: something built through voice, presence, listening, and risk."

Noah Firth is a theater teacher, actor, and graduate student in Educational Theater at the City College of New York. He teaches full-time at Bronx Theater High School in the NYC Department of Education, and leads theater programs in Italy.

His teaching is rooted in the belief that theater offers students something most classrooms can't — a space to practice empathy, take real risks, and develop a voice that is genuinely their own. He designs curriculum that is rigorous, student-centered, and grounded in ensemble from day one.

Noah came to teaching through theater, and to theater through need. That experience shapes how he sees every student who walks into his room.
