Career[]
Wiseman's stage roles have included Nitzan Halperin's Sow and Weep (2008, Boston University College of Fine Arts in New York),[6] Ariel Carson's I Wanted it to Have a How & I Wanted it to Have a Verb (2011, Dixon Place)[7] and Betsy/Lindsay in Clybourne Park (2013, Chautauqua Theater Company).[8]

Wiseman identifies as queer stating "Before Noah, I dated and loved people of all genders. I never liked it when straight-presenting women dominated conversations about bisexuality/pansexuality when I was with women, so I try not to do it now, but I also don’t want it to feel like I’m hiding anything because I’m queer and proud!”[10]
