ACTOR, SINGER, DANCER, ENTERTAINER

Maria Noel Fallouh is a Cleveland-based, Arab-American performer, born and raised in suburbs of Detroit, who has been performing as long as she can remember. Her next project is a tour with Cleveland Play House — a brand new production entitled The Throwaways being written by José Cruz González, with music composed by Kelsey González, bassist of the Free Nationals. The production is being directed by Eric Schmiedl. The Throwaways is a four-person show that will travel from Cleveland, OH to Buffalo, NY and Las Vegas, NV; Maria will be portraying the role of Performer 2 — better known as Bibi, the younger sister of our main character, Makos.

Prior to her upcoming production, Maria mostly recently portrayed Tzeitel in Fiddler On The Roof with Cleveland Play House. Other credits include featured performances with Cleveland Play House, and Rock Of Ages and The Marvelous Wonderettes at the Clinton Area Showboat Theatre.

A graduate of Bowling Green State University’s Musical Theatre program with a minor in Dance, Maria is a confident and driven performer bursting with enthusiasm and passion for her craft.

ABOUT MARIA

Fallouh gives full voice to all the contradictions inside of Veronica. Her chemistry with Evans is striking with their declaration that “Our Love is God” is a powerful expression of love and a red flag.

Fallouh is most captivating, and her scenes with Brendan Lowry as Tzeitel’s childhood friend and love, Motel, are endearing and delightful.

Fallouh shows her versatility as Tzeitel, transitioning from playful in ‘Matchmaker’ to emotional as she pleads with Tevye not to force her to marry Lazar, to joyful in her scenes with Motel, to her comedic turn as Grandmother Tzeitel in the dream.
