A 36-character solo play where the audience summons Hedy to unearth the truth behind how a glamorous Hollywood film star could create an invention used in our cell phones, WiFi, GPS, & Bluetooth - launching today's wireless technology revolution! Hedy Lamarr, glamorous siren of the silver screen, was more than ‘The Most Beautiful Woman in the World’.
Captivating! Huffington Post
Hedy invented Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology that makes the world of wireless communication tick. From Austria to Hollywood, WWII, torpedoes, ecstasy, and intrigue to the very cell phone in your pocket, Hedy Lamarr is there! Rated 12 to 100+
We so often take for granted the vast amounts of technology around us, never knowing the geniuses who created these remarkable innovations. Jack Fry (EINSTEIN), Heather Massey (HEDY LAMARR) and Michael Shaw Fisher (SHAKESPEARE), the artists who bring these marvelous thinkers so magnificently to life, asked if it might not be their mission to bring awareness to the dramatic stories behind these historic achievements, these revolutionary ideas from all types of visionaries that have transformed our world. Join us for GeniusFEST and see for yourself. For details on all GeniusFEST shows, visit SantaMonicaPlayhouse.com
