NOTE Basics

Theatre of NOTE is a non-profit democratic company that stagedives the arena of the theater
arts. Founded in 1981, our ensemble-based organization is dedicated to providing a creative environment in which to collaborate on and develop maverick theater.

NOTE produces an average of four mainstage shows a year, with a focus on world, West Coast, California and Los Angeles premieres (world premiere adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's The Duchess of Malfi ; Los Angeles premiere of Tony Kushner's A Bright Room Called Day ). NOTE also produces the famous annual Hollywood Performance Marathon, late night original 5-Minute One-Act Play Series, the NOTEworthy new play development workshops, and our educational outreach program The Young Writers Project.

NOTE has earned consistent commendation from the Los Angeles press and national acclaim from such publications as American Theatre magazine, as well as dozens of accolades, nominations and honors from every award-granting theater alliance in Southern California

How do I become an Associate member of NOTE?

Does NOTE allow non-members to Act? Direct? Design? Produce?

All NOTE casting is done from within the company membership. Occasionally we have a casting need which, for any number of reasons, we feel cannot be adequately handled by our current casting pool. In such a case we may go outside the company to cast a specific role or roles, but this happens quite rarely and must be approved by the company at large at one of our monthly company meetings.

All the other myriad jobs that go into creating a production -- such as Directing, Designing, Producing and Stage Managing -- can be and often are filled from outside the company. Indeed we welcome such talent, and consider our guest artists to be a crucial part of the ongoing creative vitality of NOTE.

Please send your directing, designing, or producing resume to the Artistic & Management Committee.
