Dead Man's Cell Phone - 2/8/2008
Playwrights Horizons presents the New York premiere of Dead Man's Cell Phone, a new play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. Directed by two-time Obie Award winner Anne Bogart, the production will begin previews on Friday, February 8 at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater (416 West 42nd Street). Opening Night is set for Tuesday, March 4 at 7PM.
Mary-Louise Parker joins previously-announced cast member, Tony Award nominee Kathleen Chalfant.
"Dead Man's Cell Phone Gordon is dead, but his cell phone lives on. When Jean, an empathetic museum worker, answers his ringing phone beside her in a café, she is soon playing unwitting comforter and confessor to the man's grieving friends and family," describe press notes, "Before she knows it, Jean is ensnarled in the underbelly of the dead man's bizarre life. A wildly imaginative new comedy, Dead Man's Cell Phone is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technology-obsessed world."
The performance schedule for Dead Man's Cell Phone will be Tuesdays through Fridays at 8PM, Saturdays at 2:30PM & 8PM and Sundays at 2:30PM & 7:30 PM. Subscriptions are now available to guarantee seats to Dead Man's Cell Phone. Single tickets will go on sale December 28.

Passing Strange - 2/8/2008
Passing Strange, an original narrative musical which made its acclaimed and extended engagement at the Public Theatre last summer, will arrive on Broadway in February 8, 2008 at the Belasco Theatre; officially opening February 28, 2008.
Performance dates and tickets (on-sale through Telecharge) will be available shortly. The Belaso Theatre is located at 111 West 44th Street, New York.
Passing Strange is a new rock musical by singer/songwriter and performance artist Stew and Heidi Rodewald. "Passing Strange takes musical theatre on a whole new trip," state press notes, "Stew, a popular performer at Joe's Pub, was commissioned by The Public and Berkeley Rep to develop this moving and hilarious story of a young black bohemian in search of self and home who charts a course for "the real" through sex, drugs, and rock and roll...It's a quirky journey from L.A. to authenticity, crossing boundaries of place, identity, and theatrical convention on the way."
