Open-Door Playhouse, which has received awards and attracted an international audience with audio plays presented online, presents a selection of audience favorites live on stage in Hollywood as part of the 30 Minutes or Less Festival.

The plays will be held on Jan. 17, 18 and 24, and are presented at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre, 5636 Melrose Ave. “She Was Dick’s Tracie,” written by Sandra Cruze, will be held on Jan. 17 at 6:15 p.m. Directed by Bernadette Armstrong and starring Kevin Michael Moran, Goreti da Silva, Peter Bonoff and Michael Mullen, the play follows Red, a dynamite redhead who is found lying in a pool of her own blood in a back alley. Senior detective Harry, his assistant Jack and a coroner are called to the scene to solve her murder. Unknowingly, each of them has a connection to the recently deceased.

“The End,” written by Patricia Motto, directed by Gary B. Lamb and starring Anne Cooper and Joyce Hananel, and “Fast Moving Consumer Goods,” written by Lori Londagin, directed by Rachel Berney Needleman and starring Elaine Mello and David Trice, will be held on Jan. 18 at 2:30 p.m. In “The End,” the odds are pretty good that what you most worry about won’t get you. But it’s dead certain that something else will. In “Fast Moving Consumer Goods,” a man gets the surprise of his life when he calls the Suicide Hotline.

“(UN)Drinkable,” by Dana Hall, and “Will’s Dramaturg,” written by Rich Rubin, will be held on Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. “(UN)Drinkable,” directed by Bernadette Armstrong and starring Barika Phillips Bell, Ayla Rose Barreau and Sue Gisser, is a story about the 2014 water supply contamination in Flint, Michigan. “Will’s Dramaturg,” directed by Kim Hlavac and starring Jeffrey S.S. Johnson and Googy Gress, explores what happens if a modern-day New York City overzealous dramaturg were to go back in time to 1594 London to try and polish a younger, naive William Shakespeare’s latest script. What begins as a simple request for feedback quickly escalates into a comedic tug-of-war over artistic vision.

Open-Door Playhouse launched on Sept. 15, 2020, giving playwrights, actors and directors a creative outlet during the pandemic shutdown. Throughout the year, Open-Door Playhouse presents plays online in podcast form.

Tickets for each production are $10 and can be purchased at the door or by visiting 30minutesorlessfestival.com.
