Noel True is a talented actress whose star is on the rise. Her direct, nuanced performances both on stage and on camera have been recognized as exceptional by directors, awards committees, and national news outlets.

Raised on a lake in upstate New York, Noel caught the acting bug from her actress mother Verona Barnes. As a child, she appeared on Sesame Street for several years, as well as roles in plays at local theatres. It wasn’t long before Noel wanted to get her feet wet in the big city, and she moved to Manhattan to get her degree in acting at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Since graduating, her career as a professional actor has taken off.

In the theatre world, Noel’s skill in the classics and her talent for bringing characters to life has afforded her many opportunities to showcase her work: from working Off-Broadway in New York to some of the most prestigious theatres around the country. In New York, she performed in productions of Whoa-Jack! and Snapshots for the Worth Street Theatre Company, The Three Sisters for The Mud/Bone Collective, and St. Lucy’s Eyes at the Cherry Lane Theatre, where she had the opportunity to work with Ms. Ruby Dee.

Regionally, she’s been seen in productions of The School For Wives at A Noise Within; Twelfth Night at the Guthrie Theater; Much Ado About Nothing at Berkeley Rep; Romeo & Juliet and Troilus & Cressida at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival; Twelfth Night at Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival; The Count of Monte Cristo at the Pioneer Theatre; The Seagull and The Merry Wives of Windsor at Shakespeare Santa Cruz; and at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC, in three productions: Ghosts, The Rivals, and A Midsummer Night's Dream (which additionally toured in Colorado as a featured part of the 2005 Aspen Ideas Festival).

Her work in Midsummer garnered her an Outstanding Supporting Actress nomination for the 2004 Helen Hayes Awards, as well as being profiled as one of The Washington Post’s “10 Rising Stars Under 30.” In 2005, she briefly returned to Washington DC when was asked to perform at the White House for the First Lady and 200 other distinguished guests at the "White House Salute to American Authors" event.

Recently, Noel moved to the West Coast to pursue work in film and television, where she has continued to build up her already impressive resume. Her television credits include Half & Half (with her sister Rachel True); Chuck; Veronica Mars; How I Met Your Mother; Bones; Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; two pilots (If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now, Untitled Maggie Friedman Project); and the daytime serials All My Children and Guiding Light. She also enjoys making short films with her colleagues in the 48 Hour Project, a collective of actors, filmmakers, and film lovers.
