THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL ISN'T GOING TO DIE is Coming to Open-Door Playhouse
Performances begin on April 2, 2025.
Open-Door Playhouse will continue to present short plays in podcast form. The Playhouse is presenting a new play, The Little Match Girl Isn't Going to Die starting April 2, 2025.
The classic tale of The Little Matchstick Girl is beloved, but also...depressing? That's why the protagonist has decided to take matters into her own hands. Can she avoid her tragic fate without derailing her entire story? A comedy about rewriting your own narrative.
Bernadette Armstrong directs Gloria Tsai as The Little Match Girl, Matthew Scott Montgomery as The Duke, and Matt Fowler as The Narrator.
Kevin B. is the playwright. His most recent play, The Jelly Bean, was a selection at the Pittsburgh New Works Festival. His other plays include American Strippers, Does It Rain on Mars?,, James Franco and Me: An Unauthorized Satire, Kill the Virgin, The Italian Wife, We Ride at Dawn or Whenever, Beautiful Beautiful Cleopatra, and more. He is also an actor, director and producer.
