Greenway Court Theater in Los Angeles. It previews 11-11/12 and runs 11-13 to 12-13.
Publicity: It’s about: “A woman who can't leave the house. A teenage girl who can't be trusted to leave it. A surgeon who's forgotten where to cut. A psych professor known as the Claremont Cougar.”
“In the comic drama FRONT DOOR OPEN, an agoraphobic woman comes face to face with the enabling role played by her surgeon husband, who's coping with his waning powers and fears of aging. When the woman's psychologist daughter and granddaughter pay an emergency visit, the family is forced to confront the ripple effects of her disability-on their personalities, their careers, their long-held secrets, and their sex lives.”

Publicity: “A comedy about family, faith and adjusting to life’s surprises. The Nowak family has always known they were special, ever since that miraculous night in 1942 when the Blessed Mother appeared to Grandpa in his barbershop. Sixty-five years later, his 20-foot high shrine remains in a disintegrating Buffalo neighborhood, but a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel with unexpectedly hilarious results.”

http://www.shakerbridgetheatre.org/html/shows.shtml ---- CHRIS PENNOCK IN NEW ONLINE FILM TRIBUTE TO EDGAR ALLEN POE
Chris (Jeb, Cyrus/John, Sebastian, Gabriel) portrays “Death” in the 12+-minute short “A POEM OF POE,” a “Halloween Tribute to the writings of Edgar Allen Poe.”
Written and directed by Ansel Faraj and “adapted liberally from Poe’s writings,” the “play within a play” mostly interprets the poem “Annabel Lee.” which some consider to be based on a lost love in Poe’s own life. In the film, Poe himself, taunted by grim Death, seems to actually become and experience the “tragedy called Man” tale.
--- For an examination of “the story behind the story” and the entire poem:

It runs from 10:00-5:00 and tickets are $25. The show is at the Westin Los Angeles Airport Hotel, 5400 W. Century Blvd., LA, CA 90045.

Based in the inquisitive and perceptive “Mental Floss” magazine, its online website 10-15-15 features “14 ‘Dark Shadows’ Facts With Bite.” The article is a look at “Popular Culture, Television, Vampires, Witchcraft.”
The article’s tone varies: factual, blunt, curious/puzzled, somewhat condescending, impressed with what DS did and represented for its time and technology, etc. It describes DS as “a charmingly under-budgeted Gothic melodrama about a spooky seaside town in Maine that blended the supernatural (werewolves, witchcraft, and zombies) with parallel universes and time travel.”
The entire article – with photos and period print media illustrations – is at:
