Making Tracks
Prior to bringing "Next to Normal" to Broadway, Yorkey was affiliated with Village Theatre in Issaquah, where he began as a KidStage student and eventually progressed to a seven-year tenure as Associate Artistic Director. Four musicals written by Yorkey—"Funny Pages" (1993), "Making Tracks" (2002), "The Wedding Banquet" (2003), and "Play it by Heart" (2005)—were staged there.
