Open
July 8 – 27, 2025
By Crystal Skillman
Directed by Jessi Hill
Starring Megan Hill as The Magician

A queer love story told by an amateur magician. Her energetic act attempts the impossible — to rescue her girlfriend.

OPEN is a magic act that reveals itself to be a resurrection. A woman called the Magician presents a myriad of tricks for our entertainment, yet her performance seems to be attempting the impossible—to save the life of her partner, Jenny. But is our faith in her illusions enough to rewrite the past?

The clock is ticking, the show must go on, and, as impossible as it may seem, this Magician’s act may be our last hope against a world filled with intolerance and hate.

The WP Space Program is an initiative to offer discounted space at WP Theater’s home @ 76th and Broadway and to provide affordable producing options for our artistic community.
Our goal for the Space Program is to provide subsidized space to mission-aligned individual artists and small budget not-for-profit companies ($300,000 or less) who might otherwise not be able to produce because of the financial constraints of renting performance space.
