DANIEL NOAH began his career as a member of Second City's first children's improv troupe at the age of 12 in his home town of Chicago.  There, he went on to become a teenage stand-up comedian before launching the weekly comedy radio program, "The Late Night Radio Television Network," with his partner/brother on WNUR FM, as well as the long-running improv show, "Naked TV," at the Synergy Theater, which was later revived at the American Blue Theater Company for a second run, and which will see its third run this year at the Straw Dog Theater.

Daniel moved to New York in 1991 to begin NYU's Dramatic Writing Program.  While attending the program, Daniel wrote and directed the Hi-8 featurette, "Richard".  After graduating from NYU, Daniel worked briefly in midtown handing out flyers while dressed as Clifford the Big Red Dog.  It was a sad day when Daniel hung up the dog suit to start work in creative development as an assistant, and then as a writer for various independent film companies in and around New York.

In 1997, he formed the theater company Threadmill, producing plays, including "Birdcatchers," an off-shoot project by one of the directors of Blue Man Group, at the performance space P.S. 122 and then at Richard Foreman's Ontological Hysteric Theater; his own performance piece "The Prime Mover," in which he told stories to a live, electronic score; and his play "apartment," a ghost story set and performed in living rooms around Manhattan.

In 2000, Daniel wrote and directed the internet serial "Twelve," the success of which led to the expansion of the material into a feature film with the team from Emerging Pictures.  His screenplay "Ashes" is being produced this summer in Chicago.
