Another Hudson Valley Premiere for MMSC!
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet caf�. A stranger at the
next table who has had enough. And a dead man - with a lot of loose
ends. So begins Dead Man's Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new
comedy by MacArthur "Genius" Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize
finalist, Sarah Ruhl, author of "The Clean House" and "Eurydice." 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.
Directed by Christine Crawfis. Featuring Janet Nurre, Elizabeth Barrows, Rosemarie Navarra, Michael Frohnhoefer, Zsuzsa Manna and Rich Hack
MORE REVIEWS "... 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." - The New York Times
"Ruhl's
zany probe of the razor-thin line between life and death delivers a
fresh and humorous look at the times we live in." - Variety Co-sponsored by Auerbach and Company SAVE A SEAT!

Mauritius Stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. Two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare
stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister
tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for
sentimental reasons. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale
becomes dangerous when three seedy, high-stakes collectors enter the
sisters' world, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their
own. Directed by Christine Crawfis Featuring Janet Nurre, Elizabeth Barrows, Rich Hack, Thom Webb and Joseph Jervais-Gayton.
