The Collective Objective is proud to present the world premiere of Jon Crefeld's The Sword Politik as part of the 10th annual Midtown International Theatre Festival, directed by Jon Ciccarelli (Artistic Director of the Hudson Shakespeare Company).

ArtsWest starts the 2009-10 season with DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE, a wildly imaginative new work from Sarah Ruhl, the playwright behind The Clean House and Eurydice. When Jean answers the cell phone of the corpse at the next table, she unwittingly embarks on a quirky odyssey that takes her from grief to the black market to the afterlife. With unfailing empathy, she sets the dead man's bizarre life to rights and on the way resurrects her own. ArtsWest favorite Carol Roscoe returns to direct this Seattle Premiere.
