Open Doors Productions & Theatricals
About
Having missed out on years of theatre as a teen due to bullying and adults with political influences at my school, I started this company to level the playing feild for others seeking to master any talent in the area of theatre and entertainment. While I’m not award winning yet, I have a degree in theatre and 10 years experience in the NY theatre industry.
