For its final offering in the 2014-2015 season The Theatre Group at SBCC will present Sarah Ruhl's comedy, DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE, directed by Katie Laris in the Jurkowitz Theatre, April 17-May 2, 2015.

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A woman at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man-with a mysterious past. So begins Dead Man's Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah Ruhl. Ruhl's quirky heroine, Jean, embarks on an unexpected journey guided by a stranger's cell phone determined to make things right. Along the way she discovers friendship, despair and romance. The New York Times describes the play as a "beguiling new comedy ...Ms. Ruhl's work blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving."

Dead Man's Cell Phone will feature: Brian Harwell, Kathy Marden, Leona Paraminski, Shannon Saleh, Jenna Scanlon and Justin Stark.
