HEDY! The Life & Inventions Of Hedy Lamarr Comes to Gamut Theatre

Fulbright Specialist Heather Massie returns to Gamut Theatre with her award-winning, internationally-acclaimed New York City show, HEDY! The Life & Inventions of Hedy Lamarr. It will be presented at Gamut Classic Theatre, October 25-27 at 7:30 PM Friday, Saturday and 2:30 PM Sunday. The show features the unexpected scientific genius of Hollywood screen star and inventor Hedy Lamarr. Known as 'the most beautiful woman in the world', Lamarr also invented technology for torpedoes during WWII that is now used in cell phones, WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth. Written and performed by Heather Massie, its mission is to inspire audiences to find ways to make the world a better place, to encourage young women in science and technology, and to establish Hedy Lamarr as a role model for intelligence, ingenuity, and invention.

Tickets are: $19/$15 and are available here: Gamuttheatre.org/tickets. Information on the presentation here: Gamuttheatre.org

Most recently she served as a Fulbright Specialist on a six week tour of the show in South Africa through the US State Department, World Learning, and the US Embassy South Africa.

"Hedy Lamarr, glamorous siren of the silver screen, was more than the most beautiful woman in the world. She invented frequency hopping and spread spectrum technology that make the world of wireless communication tick. From Austria to Hollywood, WWII, torpedoes, ecstasy, and intrigue to the very cell phone in your pocket, she was there!"
