On Stage This Weekend: Dead Man's Cell Phone

   Happily, Marshall's Theatre Alliance has been offering its shows over two weekends - and that means you have a few more chances to catch the offbeat comedy, Dead Man's Cell Phone.

   (I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but I'm hearing rave reviews!)

    It takes the stage at the Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre on Feb. 27 – March 1 at 7:30 p.m. 

   You can reserve tickets by calling the Box Office at 304-696-2787.

    Here's a synopsis of the play: 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 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.
