FRUITION

If dystopian thrillers are your thing, you may buy into the post-apocalyptic world imagined by Alexis DeLaRosa in Fruition, a Theatre Of NOTE World Premiere. If not, you’ll likely find yourself less enthralled by what DeLaRosa imagines in store for the USA as we know it.

Maid Marian is far from the only resident of Nottingham and its neighboring Sherwood Forest to blur gender and sexuality in Adam Szymkowicz’s LGBTQ-celebratory, song-and-swordplay-packed Marian, Or The True Tale Of Robin Hood, one of Theatre Of NOTE’s most exhilarating hits in years.

RIO HONDO

Earlier this year in their brilliantly spoofy Entropy, playwright Bill Robens and Theatre Of NOTE managed somehow to stage a gazillion-dollar Hollywood space-travel epic inside a 40something-seat theater.
