About Theatre of NOTE
We at Theatre of NOTE are an enduring ensemble of diverse theatre artists in the heart of Hollywood
who inspire, inform, and ignite our audiences by discovering courageous voices and creating
entertaining, provocative, and revelatory theatrical works.
NOTE was founded in 1981 by Kevin Carr, along with Kitty Felde, Marc Gordon, Melanie MacQueen,
Heather Carr, & Ted Parks as a forum for original one-act plays (N.O.T.E. stood for “New One-Act
Theatre Ensemble”), and to provide a stimulating environment for new playwrights. Since its inception,
NOTE has been through several transitions, but the integrity of the original idea has always remained
intact. We premiere an average of four main stage productions a year, by writers such as W.H. Auden,
Bertolt Brecht, Sheila Callaghan, Christopher Kelley, Tony Kushner, Jennifer Maisel, Leon Martell,
Murray Mednick, Dennis Miles, John O'Keefe, Erik Patterson, Bill Robens and Jacqueline Wright.
NOTE also upholds a tradition of acclaimed late-night shows, first launched in 1988, in addition to the
now-annual, notorious, celebrity-crowd art magnet, The Hollywood Performance Marathon. We have
earned consistent commendation from the Los Angeles press and national acclaim from such
publications as American Theatre. In all, NOTE has accumulated almost 100 honors and nominations,
including awards from the LA WEEKLY, Backstage West, L.A. Stage Alliance (Ovations), and PEN
International. Thanks to over 25 years of advancing theatre in Los Angeles, NOTE has received
generous government and corporate support, including grants from the California Arts Council, the
Cultural Affairs Department of Los Angeles, the Flintridge Foundation, the Libby Holman Foundation,
the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, Robinson's/May, Sedgwick James Inc., the Audrey SkirballKenis Foundation, Verizon, Time Warner and, most recently, The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in
recognition of our Young Writers Project (www.myspace.com/futureofwords), an outreach program
benefiting local high school students.
