LOST CELLPHONE WEEKEND to Open at Write Act Repertory
The show opens Saturday April 5 and runs through Sunday April 27, 2025.
Producers John Lant and Tamra Pica of Write Act Repertory present the West Coast Premiere of a musical cautionary tale about our screen-centered modern life. Lost Cellphone Weekend is inspired by the 1945 Billy Wilder film "The Lost Weekend" with Ray Milland, a love letter to Film Noir. This noir parody on artists’ that try to single handedly solve social problems through their writings is fitting in any time period.
Synopsis - Don Birnam has a problem. But it's not the usual stuff, like booze or drugs. He has a social media problem, a problem with his cellphone. Like many of us do. This weekend, he will be tested as never before! Begging the question, "Can you survive a weekend offline?"
The show opens Saturday April 5 and runs through Sunday April 27, 2025. Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30pm, and Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. (No shows Easter Sunday April 20)
