This talkback was Hosted by Call Me Adam's Adam Rothenberg, and Featured Playwright Crystal Skillman & OPEN Star, Actress Megan Hill.
Crystal & Megan went Behind-The-Curtain with Adam about the creation of Crystal's play OPEN & how magic plays a part in their lives.
They also answered a few questions from the audience.
In this interview, Crystal & Megan are Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:
- How Crystal came to write the play OPEN
- How Megan prepares for this emotional story every night
- If there's been a time when they wished magic could have helped me
- If they could cast a spell on their own life, what would they want it to do for them
- So much more
In OPEN, 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.
OPEN runs through July 27, 2025 at WP Theater in New York City. Click Here for tickets!
