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.
