Dead Man's Cell Phone
7:30-9:30 pm
Studio Theatre, Center for Fine Arts
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafe. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man—with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

The Space (306 E. Simmons)
If you can, bring your treasury notes too, as donations will be accepted on site (cash, venmo, credit cards, checks will all be accepted). All proceeds will benefit the Galesburg Public Library and PEN America.
Consider this a reading party, a gathering, with a tip jar for two necessary, active organizations both locally and nationally. So, swing through when you can, if you can. Swing by again. Bring your friends. Bring your strangers. Bring your pocketbook, your wallet. Bring your ears, your generosity.
Not sure you want to walk in the late night hours? Please don't! Walk in groups or we'll provide rides from 11 pm until 7 am from the Alumni Hall roundabout.
Like making cakes? Bring a cake. The more the better. All are welcome. Coffee and tea will be provided (along with some snacks). There is no sign-up or organized slotting of times. Just come read to us or come to listen, always worthy activities for always worthy causes.
