ABOUT THE SHOW

What does a 31-year old theatre kid do when he finds out his parents aren't quite who he thinks they are?

Write a musical, of course!

OUR LITTLE SECRET is the hilarious, moving, and completely true story of Noam Tomaschoff's discovery that he wasn't an only child, and he actually had more than 35 siblings around the world.

With a deft blend of comedy, drama, and wide ranging musical styles, Noam takes the audience on the roller coaster ride of emotions and discovery that he experienced over this past year, ending with a message of optimism that is sure to make you hold your family just a little bit tighter.

Noam Tomaschoff

Writer & Performer

Noam’s love for musicals came at the tender age of twelve, with his unforgettable performance as “Sam” in Camp Wahanowin’s production of Mamma Mia. From there, he made his best friends through musicals at high school, including this show’s composer, Ryan Peters; Producer, Russell Citron, and music arranger, Ben Deverett! After a sold-out run of the musical they all wrote together in Grade 12, Just A Regular Day, Noam studied drama at NYU’s Tisch School, and after graduation, went on tour with TheatreWorks USA as “Farmer Brown” in the award-winning children’s classic, Click Clack Moo. After moving to Los Angeles in 2017, he wrote and directed the feature film Tankhouse, starring Richard Kind and Christopher Lloyd (from Back to the Future!), which was a semi-autobiographical love letter to theatre and theatre kids. Tankhouse was distributed by Vertical Entertainment and released in 2022.

Ryan Peters

Composer

Ryan Peters is a High School Drama and English teacher living in Toronto. Although his days performing onstage are likely behind him, Ryan has performed in musicals such as Cabaret, Kiss of the SpiderWoman, Into the Woods, Company, and The Last Five Years. In his spare time, he enjoys team-building, song-leading, and composing musicals about his close friends’ life-altering genetic discoveries. Ryan is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with his childhood and extremely talented friends on this meaningful project — their first musical theatre collaboration since High School. He can’t wait to share it with all of you!

Russell Citron

Producer & Creative Partner

Russell Citron is a musical producer and tech entrepreneur who is thrilled to be working with his high school friends to bring this musical to life. Russell’s theatrical history began (and peaked) in elementary school, with his performance as Simba in the Lion King and Thenardier in Les Miserables. It was mostly downhill from there, as his more talented friends Noam and Ryan took the lead roles and sent him to perform as secondary characters, like Benny in RENT, which he played (and loved) in three different shows. Russell has taken a few vocal lessons here and there and still somehow believes that he will perform on Broadway one day.

Outside of theatre, Russell was the founder & CEO of CrowdChange, a fundraising technology company. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and is the co-founder of Feed the Deed, a viral social media campaign spreading 10,000+ acts of kindness across the world. Prior to CrowdChange, Russell was a management consultant at Monitor Group and Monitor Deloitte. He hasn’t produced a musical since their “five-pack” of high school friends co-produced their original musical, Just a Regular Day, but he has been dreaming of the day the group would get back together and is excited that it finally has come.

A Note from Noam

Part 1 of 3: My Dad

Without giving too much away, I can say in all honesty that when I learned that my dad isn’t my biological father, I was stunned. If anything, everyone always told me how alike my dad and I were...and it was obvious!

From day one, my very Israeli father set out to ensure that I spoke fluent Hebrew, which is no mean feat, given that I never lived in Israel and only really spoke it with him. He succeeded, and I am still fluent in Hebrew to this day. I am very close with his side of the family, and I have inherited a huge number of my cultural, artistic, sporting and political interests from him. I always thought these things were indicators of just how closely related we are, but now, it is clear that all of this extra effort on his part was done to compensate for the lack of biological relation. Ironically, because of it, we ended up being closer than are many fathers and sons who do share DNA!
