Open-Door Playhouse is continuing to present short plays in podcast form. Its upcoming play The Golden Fleece will debut on January 17, 2024 online at http://opendoorplayhouse.org

Helios, the Greek Sun God torments his son in-law, Jason, with blasts of sun rays into exposing the tragic events that led to his epic downfall as a legendary hero before an audience of ghosts from his past.  Reluctantly, and with the aid of alcohol, he makes a promise to tell the whole truth of what happened to him, his wife Medea, and their children.

Bernadette Armstrong directs. Rosney Mauger stars as Jason.

Isaac Byrne is the playwright. The recipient of an MFA in Directing from Texas State University, he is also an actor and director. He is the artistic director of Theatre 4the People. His plays include Outlaw Wedding; MJ, a poetic spell in three parts; Ophiology; Letters to a Young Cosmonaut; One.Two.Three.; Carr(y)on; and Tarantella.
