About the Event

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.

A woman called The Magician appears to perform tricks, but there’s no illusion—she’s attempting the impossible: saving her partner, Jenny. Written by Girls Write Now teaching artist Crystal Skillman, Open is a powerful, funny, and deeply moving play about love’s ability to defy hate in magical ways. Run time: 70 minutes.

Join us on July 24th after the play for a magic show: “Flavors of Magic” presents Sara Crasson.

Students can use the code OPENST for discounted tickets, and a select number of free tickets have been made available to Girls Write Now mentors and mentees.

Date July 24, 2025
Time 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM EDT
Location 2162 Broadway New York,
Open to General Public and Members
