A Brief History of the Telephone
Apr 26, 2025 at 6:00 PM
33 Hawley St

Remember when a phone was a phone, not a newspaper, a computer, a GPS, a game of solitaire, or a spycam? Come be part of OBIE award-winning playwright and performer Deb Margolin’s newest work in progress “A Brief History of the Telephone.” Deb insists that when a young person’s phone rings, they call the police, because they never heard that sound before. Is that you? 

Let’s chit chat and chew the fat, as Deb explores a lifelong passion for the sexy, disembodied possibilities of talking with friends and strangers on the phone. At this show, not only can you leave your hat on, you can leave your phone on! You can call Deb during the show if you want! Let’s bring talking to people back in fashion! Live and in-person, Deb Margolin…she’s a smooth operator.
