Open-Door Playhouse Debuts ANXIETY On December 6

Open-Door Playhouse continues to present short plays in podcast form. Its upcoming play Anxiety will debut on December 6, 2023 online at http://opendoorplayhouse.org

Tensions build when a manic-claustrophobic woman gets locked inside an office building bathroom, along with a male janitor late one night when all other employees have left for the weekend. Tensions rise as time goes by without cell phone connection, food or her medication. Will they be rescued in time?

Miranda Stewart directs Gloria Tsai and Michael Fletcher.

Curt Wiser is the playwright. He is a writer, director, actor, cinematographer, animator, and podcaster. The recipient of a B.F.A. from the University of Central Florida, his previous audio drama credits include A Voice in Violet and The Improv Murders. His script for Anxiety won the International Music and Entertainment Association Award (IMEA).
