Dead Man’s Cell Phone

by Sarah Ruhl

directed by Brook Davis

February 7-8 & 13-15 at 7:30 pm

February 9 & 16 at 2:00 pm

Ring Theatre

When Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone premiered in 2007, the play questioned our connections, our disconnections, and how our lives have changed as we navigate a piece of technology that follows us everywhere, all the time.  In 2025, that examination is even more profound.

After Jean answers and keeps answering a dead man’s cell phone, she stumbles into a complicated world of grand discoveries and adventure. 

Join us for a whimsical look at humanity, technology, and the life-altering importance of a good bowl of lobster bisque.

Recording and photography are not allowed. No late admission.
