Dead Man's Cell Phone at SJCT - Photos added

San Juan Community Theatre's winter play, onstage from February 17-March 4, features a wildly imaginative contemporary comedy-drama. Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone opens in a quiet café, with an incessantly ringing cell phone, a stranger at the next table who has had enough, and a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. As the play unfolds, we witness the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically-obsessed world.

 

Director Tyler Ryan, who in 2016 directed a very well-received version of the play for our On Book! Reader Theatre, says its unique theatrical storytelling forms and eccentric characters play starring roles in a plot that centers on universal truths in modern-day times. “The play shines a light on people’s tender ache to be connected alongside our incessant insecurities around death.”

Ryan says his focus as a director will be to keep the production simple, to let the storytelling take the lead and to keep audiences surprised and delighted by this unconventional script.

    I’m so jealous that you have Kim Grotle in your midst there. She’s such an asset to a theatre troop. Miss you Kim. Susan, from the Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls, WA
