This delightfully absurd play introduces us to some likable, goofy high school students who must live — briefly at least — without their omnipresent cell phones.

Nerd Stevie is frustrated that Stella, the girl of his dreams and the leader of the Cool Kids, won’t acknowledge him, so he devises a way to disable all the cell phones in town.  With no phones, everyone must — gasp! — talk to one another.

Utilizing projections, sound effects, and video, a funny and randomly weird adventure ensues.  The Cool Kids try to solve the cell phone mystery, while Stevie and the other Nerds cluelessly try to prevent them from learning the truth.  Along the way they encounter wild animals at a suburban park, hostile squirrels, a trio of Fosse dancers, singing Puritans, touchy beat poets, and a chicken on the lam.
