Answering your phone in the theatre may be forbidden, but it's a gateway to storytelling in Line One.
Actors take the stage each night without knowing who they'll portray or what they'll say.
When their cell phones start to ring, however, they repeat verbatim the words they hear through their earpieces.
Every performance revolves around a different theme, presenting fresh perspectives from real callers.
Secret, experimental, and spontaneous, Line One is a verbal collage fusing curiosity, chaos, and community.
