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.
