Stage Door centers around a group of young actresses who live in a boarding house for women only called the Footlights Club, somewhere in the West 50's of 1930's New York, but mostly concerns an idealistic young actress named Terry Randall, freshly arrived from Indiana, whose late mother was an actress who regretted giving up the stage for a husband and children. Terry is determined to live the life her mother never had, becoming a stage actress with a long and successful career. Along the way, she turns down a guaranteed Hollywood contract; falls in love with a left-wing playwright who is also determined not to be a sell-out, but ultimately goes Hollywood; and winds up triumphant in her principles, when, at her career nadir, she (and love) triumph over adversity.

The Open Fist Theatre Company was founded in 1990 by five graduates of Cal State Fullerton. Under the Artistic Directorship of Ziad Hamzeh, the Company immediately established its reputation as a cutting edge ensemble, willing to tackle difficult plays. Under the leadership of present Artistic Director Martha Demson, the company has evolved into a collective, self-producing artistic enterprise with all facets of its operation run by its artist members.
