PART 2: Just Playin'

Lee Franklin’s play Just Playin’ PART 1 focuses on a group of men at a rustic cottage in Maine celebrating the 25th Anniversary of their regular poker game. PART 2 The next day, their wives (in one case, an ex-wife) gather at the same cottage (after the guys have left) to play Mahjong. The Mahjong game is also marking its 25th Anniversary.

Part One is directed by Dennis Gersten and stars, David Purdham, Gary Lamb, Rick Friesen, Allan Wasserman, and Jimmy Gleason.

Part Two, debuting November 23, will depict the Mahjong game. Both parts will continue to be available on the Open-Door Playhouse website. Part Two is directed by Rachel Berney-Needleman and stars Elizabeth Wells, Alexis Genya, Anne Cooper, Noelle Evangelisti, and Rosemary Thomas.

Open-Door Playhouse is a podcast created to introduce new plays, new writers, and a wealth of unknown talent. Founded by playwright and filmmaker Bernadette Armstrong, Open-Door Playhouse brings plays to the airwaves in response to the fact that theatres were shuttered all over the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving playwrights with nowhere to produce their plays. Open-Door Playhouse supports new and emerging writers.If you would like to make a donation and support our podcast,
