Theatre of NOTE to Open 2015 Season with NIAGARA FALLS

Theatre of NOTE opens its 2015 season with the world premiere of NIAGARA FALLS, written by Steve Yockey (Wolves, Very Still and Hard to See) and directed by Ryan Bergmann.

NIAGARA FALLS opens on newlyweds Jack and Avery Perch who want to enjoy their kitschy Niagara Falls honeymoon, but doubts about their speedy nuptials, the unfortunate hotel room, and an interrupting concierge aren't helping to set the mood. A mysterious event sends both on a chase through a nearby carnival...and a parallel universe. NIAGARA FALLS is a dark comedy that takes up the torch for love and romance and almost burns down the house with it.

NIAGARA FALLS will preview Friday and Saturday, February 13 and 14, at 8pm, and will open on Friday, February 20 at 8pm and run through Saturday, March 28 at Theatre of NOTE, 1517 N Cahuenga Blvd (just north of Sunset) in Hollywood.
