DISTRACTIONS AT THE CRASH SITE: Short Plays at Theatre of NOTE

Come delve into the wondrous, twisted mind of Steve Yockey in this evening of short works full of intimate little stories told on a very big, very bold scale. Simple, everyday problems collide with the most bizarre spectacle!  Whether it’s deadly space debris, a blood-spattered chorus or a man literally called to save the world, what constitutes “normal” is forever in question. It’s a dark, hilarious, potentially gruesome and beautifully moving ride.  We’d hate for you to miss out on all the fun!  

A long-time contributor to the Los Angeles theatre community, Yockey’s critically-acclaimed west coast premiere of Mercury recently concluded its smash hit run at the Road Theatre. On the small screen, he received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his work on HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant, and is the creator/showrunner of Netflix’ highly anticipated DeadBoy Detectives, debuting on April 25.                                                                                                                 

Comments Director Ryan Bergmann, “Few writers make me more excited to work in theatre than Steve Yockey.  He has such a powerful and unique approach to the worlds he creates for the stage.  They always feel so true and grounded right before they slap you upside the head and knock you on your bum and then they throw you right back into truth with your head spinning, forcing you to see the world from a whole new perspective. Yockey’s gift for magical realism is, in my opinion, unrivaled and this collection of short plays is a perfect example of his ridiculous talents. Hilarious, disturbing, bizarre, beautiful, powerful, gruesome, moving, chilling and honest are just a tiny fraction of the terms used to describe Steve’s work. Whether laughing, crying or screaming, no one ever walks away bored from a Steve Yockey play..and we’re doing seven of them!”
