Open-Door Playhouse Debuts WHEN HE WAS YOUNG AND PRETTY In June

Open-Door Playhouse continues to present short plays in podcast form. Its upcoming play When He Was Young and Pretty will debut online June 5, 2024 online at http://opendoorplayhouse.org

An older gentleman invites a younger man to his apartment for dinner. As the meal progresses the two discuss the difficulties that each generation has delt with over the years; each contending that their generations has endured the harshest difficulties. As the conversation between the two fades, they acknowledge their similarities and the evening takes on a more personal tone.

Gary Lamb directs Daamen Krall and Michael Fletcher.

Collin R, Smith is the playwright. 

During the month of June (Pride Month), Open-Door Playhouse will include in its programming plays that focus on the stories of LGBTQ characters.
