Dead Man's Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Topher Alan Payne
Nov 6-21, 2015
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man—with a lot of loose ends. Answering a dead man’s cell phone sends Jean on a comedic odyssey which forces her to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.
