A spellbinding story of love, loss, and the impossible—OPEN takes the stage Off-Broadway July 8–27 as a recipient of the WP Space Program. Presented by Midnight Theatricals, this electrifying production is produced in association with The Tank, The Flying Carpet Theatre Company, and is a New Georges Supported Production.
A woman called The Magician appears to perform tricks, but there’s no illusion—she’s attempting the impossible: saving her partner, Jenny. OPEN is a powerful, funny, and deeply moving play about love’s ability to defy hate in magical ways.
Sometimes, the most powerful magic is hope.
If you saw missed the show’s original run, you won’t want to miss this limited three-week run. If you did see, please join us in cheering on Open’s move to Off Broadway. Early Bird Discount if you buy tickets before June 20th with the code: EARLYBIRD
Returning to the role she originated at The Tank, Megan Hill stars as The Magician, under the direction of Jessi D. Hill in Crystal’s acclaimed award-winning play The show’s 2019 sold-out run at our space earned a New York Times Critics’ Pick, with Elisabeth Vincentelli writing: “Kristen [The Magician] executes magic tricks because she is the one who needs to believe. The miracle this lovely show pulls out is that by the end, she does — and so do we.”
