Theatre of NOTE continues 30th Season with Shoe Story

Theatre of NOTE continues the celebration of its 30th anniversary with SHOE STORY, written by Ben Snyder and directed by Maureen Huskey. SHOE STORY will preview on Thursday, April 14 at 8pm and will open on Friday, April 15 at 8pm and run through Saturday, May 22 at Theatre of NOTE, 1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd. (just North of Sunset) in Hollywood.

SHOE STORY is an urban fairy tale that elicits the excitement and dark side of the shoe culture of New York in the eighties (inspired by the cult of Michael Jordan and the explosion of materialism connected to the fetishes around sports icons). Through humor, fantasy and heart, SHOE STORY isolates and elevates the way some kids in the cities lived for a new pair of tennis shoes and sometimes got killed for them. SHOE STORY is a funny and sensitive coming of age story about PeeWee and his relationship with a mysterious street smart character, O. G. Mar, who poetically leads Peewee on a journey from the present to the past--one that O. G. Mar must face as well. The play is set in a shoe store, owned by an "overworked Korean father" who is struggling to survive. The shoe store becomes a world of street characters with clashing misfits, farcical moments, and life- changing events which ultimately provide a unique lens to NY in the eighties when the stakes of survival were high and aspirations seemed just out of reach.

SHOE STORY will preview on Thursday, April 14 at 8pm and will open on Friday, April 15 at 8pm and run through Saturday, May 22 at Theatre of NOTE, 1517 N. Cahuenga (just north of Sunset) in Hollywood.
