Wasatch Theatre Company announces auditions for Sarah Ruhl’s “Dead
Man’s Cell Phone”
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. 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.
Open auditions for Wasatch Theatre Company’s production of Dead Man’s Cell Phone will be Thursday, March 11th, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 13th, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in Studio B at the Rose Wagner Center for the Performing Arts (138 West 300 South).

SYNOPSIS: In 1930, the era of Silent Pictures is finished and talking pictures have taken over as the new norm. Marshall Studios is out to film (in one take!) Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance” as a talking picture. Roger Marshall is a cheapskate who has cheaply hired a number of out-of-work silent film actors whose voices should never be heard, and a group of amazing vocalists whose faces would never make it on the big screen. The vocalists rebel against their treacherous contracts and take over the studio and a batch of tap-dancing cops try to sort things out. It is basically “The Pirates of Penzance” meets “Singin’ In The Rain.” You may never stop laughing!
