Dead Man's Cell Phone (CP2 Mini-Festival #1)
By Sarah Ruhl
A beguiling surrealist comedy

Directed by Kit Colbourn

October 2026
Evening - Saturday, October 3, 8pm
Matinee - Sunday, October 4, 2pm

A comedy about how we remember the dead – and how that memorialization changes us. It is the journey of a woman forced to confront her presumptions about isolation in a technological society. Everything we thought we knew, everything we thought was dead, can be uncovered, re-discovered, and brought to life again.

A ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next tablet. And a dead man-with a lot of loose ends

"Satire is her oxygen [...] In her oddball comedy, Sarah Ruhl is forever vital in her lyrical and biting takes on how we behave." – The Washington Post
