At Open-Door Playhouse, we bring the theater to you. Now Playing Take-Off

Alycia and Tyler meet on a flight from Houston to Los Angeles. As they experience extensive turbulence along the way, they distract themselves by sharing intimate secrets.

Bernadette Armstrong directs Christine Uhebe as Alycia and David Phurdham as Tyler.

Linda Shayne is the playwright. She graduated from UC Berkeley, worked in mental hospitals, and published articles about San Quentin State Prison ex-offenders, before she became a writer/director in film and TV. Shayne has written movies for Disney, Showtime, Imagine Entertainment, and directed for Nickelodeon,  Warner Bros, and Paramount. Shayne created a dramedy TV series for Quincy Jones, two animated series for Warner Bros, and a dramedy TV series to film in Thailand. She directed an award-winning documentary playing festivals and adapted a WW2 spy book for a Swiss producer. Recently, Shayne was hired to write/direct a rom-com movie.

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 by playwrights across the country and internationally. In 2021, Open-Door Playhouse received a Communicator Award for Content for the Play Custody. In 2023, the play What’s Prison Like was nominated for a Webby Award in the Crime & Justice Category.
