Noelle Anderson

Vocal Director
Teaching Artist
Metaperformer

Noelle was born and raised in Columbus, OH. Her performance career started at an early age, participating in church plays, school choir and band, and the occasional live performance for a large audience of Care Bears.

Noelle attended Capital University where she majored in Music Industry, became the only flute player in a school Jazz quartet, and discovered a love of music technology at the Recording Workshop in Chillicothe. She joined Shadowbox Live in March of 2001.

At Capital University, Noelle re-discovered her love of live acting and performed in several plays, including “I Hate Hamlet” as well as several original plays. She joined the school’s improv troupe, and helped found the “Reader’s Theater Troupe”, a group that exclusively performed adaptations of short published stories.

When Noelle joined Shadowbox Live, she discovered a love of teaching, and that fueled her to work up to Vocal Director for the company.

As the Director of Data Systems, Noelle implements technical solutions throughout the company, keeping her focus on lightening the workload of metas through efficient data based solutions. She jokes she’s the “resident nerd” in the company, so her work can also include setting up a printer or helping to fix a phone.

As the Operations Manager of the Up Front Performance Space, Noelle runs point for all presenters and artists performing in the space, and builds and operates necessary software, like the Up Front’s custom box office.
