Music & lyrics by Naama Friedman

Naama Friedman
Naama Friedman (all pronouns) is a composer, playwright, musician, and vocalist based in Portland, OR. performed in plays and musicals from childhood all the way through high school and college, and eventually fell in love with composition. Naama has written two full-length musicals – REWRITTEN_ (2021), an a capella musical about finding community in times of deep loneliness, and Letter to the Editor (2022), a musical about grief and the nonlinearity of time, both of which were produced and performed through Reed College in Portland, OR. Now, they are developing JUST KEEP WATCHING with Teague, having worked on the show together since 2023. Naama is especially interested in telling stories through song beyond just words: the textures, harmonies, and theory that builds into why we perceive a character a certain way. They are overjoyed to be on this project getting to build the themes of these rich characters that occupy overlooked spaces in our world today.
