Take
Note Theatre is a company which has a
specific focus on musical theatre. Under the Artistic Director Luke
Sheppard and General Manager Neil Franklin, the company exists to bring lesser
known musical works to new audiences as well as encouraging, producing
and developing our own shows through to full production. There is a
strong emphasis on new writing within our work.
This Autumn the
company have programmed an inaugural season of new musical theatre
pieces to transfer direct from the
Edinburgh Fringe. Headlined by the two award winning shows
The Great British Soap Opera and
Over The Threshold, the month long event hopes to bring new
work to an audience beyond the Fringe. There will also be
showcases of two ongoing projects Take Note is developing with
bright new writers - Chat! and
Six Ways
The company developed
and produced Jet Set Go! for the Edinburgh Fringe 2008.
Following critical acclaim the production transferred to Theatre503
for a limited run. In 2009 a new production was presented at Jermyn
Street Theatre for three weeks, attracting critical acclaim and a
new West End cast. All three runs were a sell out and received
fantastic national coverage. The company also produced
I
Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change at the Fringe attracting
five star reviews and sell out audiences.
Looking ahead the
company is working with several writing teams to develop new work
this side of the Atlantic, as well as producing a number of British
premieres of international masterpieces yet to be seen in this
country. More
details to be announced shortly.
Take Note Theatre
will forever be grateful to the individuals who have helped make and
create our work, and to those who have been with us from the
beginning.
