‘Dead Man’s Cell Phone’ comes to Golden Gate Community Center
Dead Man’s Cell Phone comes to Golden Gate Community Center October 4-13.
Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a play about a girl at a cafe who finds an annoying cell phone ringing in the pocket of a man sitting across the room from her. As she tries to get his attention, she realizes that this man is dead and the only thing left of him that’s still buzzing and making noise is his cell phone.
The play explores how we remember the dead and how 
that memorialization changes us. It is a wildly imaginative comedy that chronicles the journey of a woman forced to confront her presumptions about morality, redemption, and isolation in a technologically obsessed society and explores the paradox of modern technology’s ability to both unite and isolate people in the digital age.
The Studio Players’ production is directed by Frank Blocker and features Delinah Rosario-Mercado, Melissa Hennig, T.J. Albertson, Emilie Baartman, Lynnelle St. Albord and Christopher Noonan.
