Dead Man's Cell Phone play
Mesa Community College’s Theatre and Film Arts Department presents Sarah Ruhl’s acclaimed contemporary play, Dead Man’s Cell Phone, with performances April 18, 19, 24, and 25 at 7:30 p.m. and April 19 and 26 at 2 p.m. at the MCC Theatre.
The play is an amazing odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about mortality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technology obsessed world.

The MCC Theatre is located on the south side of MCC’s Main Campus at Southern and Dobson Roads in Mesa. Tickets are $10 for General Admission and $7 for Students and Seniors.
