"Dead Man's Cell Phone" by Sara Ruhl

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. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

THANK YOU to those talented actors who came out to our last Table Reading of "Silent Sky" by Lauren Gunderson. Your time and talents are so appreciated.

Looking to take part in a Table Read? Or do you have one you'd like to suggest? Let us know! We're holding MONTHLY table reads. So keep an eye on this space for the next one!

What is your dream role? It might be a role that you will never be able to play, for whatever reason: too old, too young, no one will cast you because you go 'against type'....whatever the reason.

If you were given the chance to do perform that elusive role, just even a small part of it....would you?

NEXT PLAY READING: We are looking to fill two female roles as well as someone to read Stage Directions for our next play reading, "Silent Sky" by Lauren Gunderson.

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

DATE: February 4th, 7:00pm at Between the Lines Studio Theatre.
