The play centers on a woman borrowing a dead man鈥檚 cell phone in a late night diner, and her world begins to change radically.
鈥淭his fun, touching, smart play explores the fast-paced world we live in, the human connections that get lost and get found and how we live and love in the moments between ring tones,鈥 said Patrick Tangredi, Theater Arts Program instructor.
The production will be guest directed by Jessica Wallenfels, who created original works聽鈥淔ind Me Beside You鈥 and 鈥淭ruth and Beauty鈥 with her company Many Hats Collaboration. Wallenfels has been a teaching artist with Portland Actors Conservatory, California State School of the Arts, Oregon Children鈥檚 Theatre, Northwest Children鈥檚 Theatre and School, Northwest Academy and West Sylvan Middle School. She is an associate artist with Cornerstone Theater Company, holds a bachelor鈥檚 in fine arts from the California Institute of the Arts and attended Dell鈥橝rte International.
