Open Door branches out this week to the internet!

Co-Artistic Director Jennifer Ann Sassaman has written and directed a podcast script for the Girl Tales series. Resident Artist Samuel Fitzwater-Butchart did the sound design and acted in one of the roles. Among the other artists that worked on the project is Jennifer's daughter Madeleine Sassaman, age seven, who plays both Gretel and the newly created character Minna.

Girl Tales is a podcast featuring reimagined fairytales that teach children to take control of their own destinies, turning classic fairytales into exciting new feminist adventures.

At Open Door we are dedicated to helping artists find the space they need to create the art they are passionate about, so telling this story and finding a way for a single mom artist and her young daughter to work on this project together speaks to the heart of what we hope to do.

Please check it out by clicking on this link or by searching for Girl Tales wherever you get your podcasts.
