Forever in There or, Fuck Around and Find Out
by Ashley Rose Wellman

Theatre of NOTE is thrilled to announce our Fall Production for 2026!

Bringing her work back to our stage is Ashley Rose Wellman who wrote our 2023 smash hit, Kill Shelter.

Two amateur conflict journalists who were kidnapped for ransom during an ill-advised trip to an active war zone are released after years of captivity. They struggle to adjust to “normal life” while navigating their complex feelings for each other, the enormous debts they owe their loved ones, and the weird ramifications of what happens after you fuck around and find out.

NOTEworthy

April of 2025 saw the return of one of NOTE’s most popular programs. NOTEworthy! And now…the next installment is here!!!

Joy & The Whale by Claire Bernstein

Joy has an important choice to make. When she finds safety in the oasis that is The Whale Diner, she begins to build a sense of self.

A riff off of the story of Jonah & The Whale, this play examines generations of women as they explore choice, morals, learned behavior, and unrealistic expectations.

People joined us on August 23rd at 5:00 p.m. for a free reading and talk back with playwright Claire Bernstein.

NOTEworthy is Theatre of NOTE’s script development program, established to foster relationships with playwrights as they develop new works (with the hopes of producing these pieces on our stage).
