Arts Alive! podcast: Actress Noa Friedman of Jobsite’s ‘POTUS’

Introducing Noa Friedman, who has become one of the most prolific actresses in the recent history of Tampa’s Jobsite Theater.

She’s one of the seven women who comprise the cast of the current show, the non-stop farce POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive. In the summer production of The Rocky Horror Show – the best-selling show in Jobsite history – Friedman played the demure (in the beginning, anyway) Janet Weiss.

Perhaps you saw her in Twelfth Night? Or Dracula? Maybe in ThinkTank’s The Wolves? Or All My Sons with Tampa Repertory Theatre? Or The Crucible?

Friedman was also a standout performer in the Stageworks Theatre production of The Immigrant in March of this year, portraying the wife of a man who moves from pre-Soviet Russia to rural Texas in search of a better life. Long sections of dialogue were spoken in Yiddish.

The versatile thespian graduated from the University of Florida with a theater degree in 2022 (plus a degree in Business Administration, because why not) and hit the ground running as soon as she returned home.

“I loved the theater scene here, and I’m having so much fun,” Friedman says on today’s Arts Alive! podcast. “To be able to do what I love professionally is really all that I’m looking for.”
