PRODUCTION

In collaboration with world-renowned art makers, Willie Nillie Media produces new theatre, dance, and comedy across the United States and around the globe.​ WNM is not a commercial agency - it's a nimble, nuanced, and nutsy arts production firm that's been deep in the evolution of queer performance.
In addition to fueling comic stripper Woody Shticks since 2014, Willie Nillie Media manages public relations, fiscal operations, and production design for Seattle's sexiest interarts gang ​​​The Libertinis, internationally-recognized feminist dance icon Cherdonna Shinatra, and Cherdonna's fresh contemporary dance company DONNA. ​WNM consults regularly with eclectic producers, including Intiman Theatre's Corporate Training Program and Emerging Artist Program, up-and-coming solo artists at 18th & Union, and burlesque legends Kitten N' Lou.

DESIGN

Noah's got ten years of graphic and sound design experience under his high-waisted belt. Designing digital assets for social media, partnering with local print shops for poster and handbill campaigns, and dynamically organizing information in reference documents is all part of the deal. ​Plus, as a seasoned choreographer for striptease, physical comedy, solo theatre, and ensemble performance, Noah's got the moves and he loves to share.
