Sound Design is by Hall Cantrell.

The Open-Door Playhouse Podcast is recorded at ES Audio Studios
in Glendale, CA.


The team behind the mic is Assoc Producer Laree Griffith who manages our website and …all else, and Emily Owens, our publicist who notifies the Universe about our plays.

The plays are recorded at ES Audio Services in Glendale, CA, and none of this would be possible with my patient, talented and supportive Sound Engineer Hall Cantrell.

Enjoy the play.
