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. This wildly imaginative new comedy from MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah Ruhl, will amuse, delight and move you. 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.

Renegade Theater Company and Lori Pietsch State Farm Insurance present Dead Man’s Cell Phone, opening this Thursday at Teatro Zuccone. The show runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays at 8 pm through May 1. For tickets, call 218-336-1414 or log on to www.teatrozuccone.com
