Open-Door Playhouse to New Play AFTER THE FUNERAL By Amber Patterson
The show begins on July 30.
Open-Door Playhouse continues to present short plays in podcast form. The Playhouse is presenting a new play, After the Funeral , starting July 30, 2025 online at http://opendoorplayhouse.org.
After their father's funeral, adult siblings Sam and Grace, each somewhat embittered in their own way, discover that they had wildly divergent experiences while growing up. Yunyi Zhu directs a cast that includes Christine Uhebe as Grace and Gerald James as Sam. Amber Patterson is the playwright. This is her first play. She is also an actor.
Founded by playwright and filmmaker Bernadette Armstrong, Open-Door Playhouse is a Theater Podcast- like the radio dramas of the 1940s and 1950s. The Playhouse launched on September 15, 2020. At the time, Open-Door Playhouse provided Playwrights, Actors and Directors a creative outlet during the shutdown. Since its inception. Open-Door Playhouse has presented Short and One-Act plays from Playwrights across the country and internationally. In 2021 Open-Door Playhouse received a Communicator Award for Content for the Play Custody and in 2023 the play What's Prison Like was nominated for a Webby Award in the Crime & Justice Category.
Plays are produced by Bernadette Armstrong, Sound Engineer is David Peters, sound effects are provided by Audio Jungle, and music from Karaoke Version. All plays are recorded at The Oak House Studio in Altadena, CA.
