[NEohioPAL] Dobama Theatre's DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE opens October 29th!

[Julie Friedman]

"A beguiling comedy...hallucinatory poetic fantasy that blends the mundane
and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and
the bizarrely moving..." -- The New York Times

"This is a show for those who like to let their imaginations run wild, who
enjoy good writing and slightly off-beat fare." -- The Providence Journal

Characters in Ruhl's plays negotiate the no man's land between the everyday
and the mystical, talking like goofs one minute and philosophers the next. 
-- The New York Times 

"Ruhl's zany probe of the razor-thin line between life and death delivers a
fresh and humorous look at the times we live in." --Variety 


On October 29, Dobama Theatre presents...

DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE

By Sarah Ruhl

Directed by Scott Miller 

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafe.  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, author of
THE CLEAN HOUSE and EURYDICE.  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.  

Join us for Opening Nite 10/29 and enjoy a complimentary wine and cheese
reception. 

Please note:   Seating capacity has been reduced by 50 seats for this
production.  Our PHONES are ringing so make your reservations soon!
