How do I get a note backstage?

Go to the stage door and give it to the doorman. He'll be sure to get it to your friend.

Like Wilmingtom, I'd just say give it to the doorman. If it's possible to go drop of the note on Saturday , I'd suggest you do so. That way, your friend knows you are coming to the show, and he can put you on a list that most doormen have for backstage access.

Try asking the house manager to pass it on.

As someone who worked a stage door at a theatre in Washington DC for many years, the House Manager will come back and give it to the Stage Doorman. Walk it back to the stage door and give it to the doorman, a day in advance is always better so your friend has time - and include a contact number or e-mail so they can let you know they got it. There are mail boxes for the actors backstage and your friend will get the message. Go back to the stage door after the show and give the doorman your name. Most likely, your friend will have put you on that nights guest list or the doorman will call up to let him know he has a visitor.

Leave a note with a pair of used underwear. Works every time. Good luck!

With or without the underwear? ??
