Rising film star

Noah Pacht (pictured), a 2020 graduate of The Emery/Weiner School, made his feature-film debut in Amazon Studios’ Anything’s Possible, available on Prime Video. Pacht plays the role of Chance in the Gen Z coming-of-age story about a high school trans student navigating senior year. Currently, Pacht is a junior at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama where he studies acting and musical theater. While in high school, he performed in more than 12 Emery/Weiner productions, including Cry-Baby the Musical, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Romeo and Juliet, and Mary Poppins. Now with his own IMDb page, Pacht’s future looks bright. In addition to his film career taking off, he has already been cast in two stage productions for Carnegie Mellon’s 2022-23 season: Your Boyfriend May Be Imaginary and Orion and the Goatman.
