is a director of new plays, musicals, and classical works. His work blends theatrical imagination with emotional precision, structural daring, and buoyant wit.

In 2026, Noah launched Samuel Parker Productions with his cousin Josh Goldsmith, after their great-grandfather, a self made first generation American entrepreneur. The company is currently developing various theatre projects under Noah’s direction and vision.

This past spring, his production of the world premiere comedy When Playwrights Kill opened at the Huntington Theatre with a cast led by Beth Leavel. The Boston Globe hailed it as a "go-for-broke blast," and "directed with brio and a sure sense of what each moment requires by Noah Himmelstein," while QulturVultur found his staging “in pitch perfect with Lombardo’s writing - sleek, fast-moving, and authentic in its depiction of its backstage world.”

New York credits include Conversations with Mother (with Caroline Aaron and Matt Doyle); Andrew Lippa’s I Am Harvey Milk (Lincoln Center with Kristin Chenoweth, also stagings in San Francisco with Laura Benanti, LA, Denver, DC, and Princeton) Michael John LaChiusa’s Los Otros; Karen Hartman’s The Lucky Star (with Steven Skybell and Dale Soules); and Daniel Zaitchik’s The Costume. He’s directed workshops for New York Theatre Workshop, Atlantic Theater Company and the Public Theater.

Regional: Chelsea Marcantel’s Everything is Wonderful (Philadelphia Theatre Co & Everyman); the world premieres comedies of Jonathan Tolins’s The Forgotten Woman (Bay Street with Ashlie Atkinson and Darren Goldstein) and Deborah Zoe Laufer’s Rooted (Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park); Lippa’s I Am Anne Hutchinson (Strathmore with Chenoweth); Michael Korie and Conrad Cummings’s opera Positions 1956 (Urban Arias); Loving Leo (Weston Playhouse); and the world premiere of the musical Bleeding Love (Fredericia Theater, Denmark).

As Associate Artistic Director of Baltimore’s Everyman Theatre, his productions included an award winning age-blind A Midsummer Night's Dream and the highest grossing productions in their history: his alternate version of And Then There Were None and Karen Hartman’s The Book of Joseph; as well asproductions of An Inspector Calls, The Skin of Our Teeth and Los Otros. For the New York Philharmonic, he has directed the Young People’s Concerts series and Lincoln Center American Songbook. As associate/assistant director, he’s had the joy of collaborating with Bartlett Sher, James Lapine, John Rando and Victoria Clark.
