Playwright. Filmmaker. Creative Instigator.
Hello. Iām Noah Masterson, a playwright and creative living coach based in Austin, Texas. Through the lens of satire and surrealism, my work explores techno-fascism, neurodivergence, personal transformation, art, and intimacy. I am also a juggler. You can find samples of my theater work, films, writing, and other miscellanea below.

THE EGG: A magical realist stage play set in the near future. A woman lays eggs. A man grows feathers. Their child narrates it all from a carnival sideshow trailer. Full production planned for 2025.
THE YOLK, a mini-version of THE EGG, was performed at FronteraFest in Austin, TX on Friday, January 17, 2025. š„ Director: David Ritch š„ Sculptural props by Jordan M. Segal š„ View full cast and crew of THE YOLK.
DEEP FREEZE: A short sci-fi comedy set inside a strange corporate cryogenics facility. The film explores marriage, mortality, and climate change. (Hilarious!) Produced in 2022 as part of a "script to screen" course at Austin School of Film
YOU DONE HER WRONG: Music Video for a song that I wrote and recorded, starring my son Ivan B. Masterson.
I'm not just a juggler; I'm also a certified Co-Active life coach. Kickstart My Art! is a one-hour session designed to remove creative blocks and rekindle your momentum. Visit my coaching site.
This is where is all blurs together.
Lately I've been writing on Substack and, for coaching stuff, on the blog at Masterson Coaching.
I have been juggling since I was 10 years old and briefly considered clown school. Nowadays I do it for excercise and sometimes post juggling videos on YouTube.
I used to play in bands including the Human Oddities, Childress, the Swamp Coolers, and the Young Adults. I'm currently writing songs for a new musical cowritten with L.B. Deyo. Just for the hell of it, here's my cover of Dwight Yoakam's "It Won't Hurt."
