Dead Man’s Cell Phone at UCLA

I’m very excited to be work­ing on my first full-length project with my class­mates at UCLA. If you live out here, I hope you will con­sider com­ing out to see some very tal­ented actors. And also me.

An inces­santly ring­ing cell phone in a quiet caf. 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 play­wright Sarah Ruhl, recip­i­ent of a MacArthur ”Genius” Grant and Pulitzer Prize final­ist for her play The Clean House. 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.
