Open-Door Playhouse Debuts WOMAN ON THE 97TH FLOOR On April 26

Open-Door Playhouse founder and artistic director Bernadette Armstrong directs actors Gloria Tsai and Michael Fletcher in Woman on the 97th Floor.

There was an image, burned into the minds of some Americans on September 11th, when a man and a woman leapt out of an office window of one of the Twin Towers. They were holding hands. This is a fictionalized account of what may have happened, or what some people did that day, the moment before. It is a play about choice.

Susan Kelejian is the playwright. Her previous plays include The Tragedy of Boudicca, The Belles of Bedlam, and Drive. She is the founder of the Ojai Valley Artists Theatre Ensemble. She is also an actor, director and licensed psychotherapist.

Open-Door Playhouse will present this play in podcast form starting Wednesday, April 26, 2023.
