| Scott Adkins and Let's Make a Theatre Company Premiere Innovative Robo-Call Theater PARTY LINE March 8-15 One day your phone rings and you hear strangers talking on the other end. They can't hear you, but you can hear everything they are saying. In a time of pandemic isolation, playwright Scott Adkins, missing the joy of overheard conversations, brings you PARTY LINE, a play that unfolds over a series of eight short daily phone calls. PARTY LINE participants receive a different phone call each and every evening March 8 - 15 at 8pm ET. Participants will also receive a SASE to correspond with any character featured in the phone calls; every audience member who writes will get a response from that character. A pre-recorded play in eight installments, PARTY LINE is pushed out to audiences daily via an innovative robo-call platform. Audiences are encouraged to mute their phones when they receive the call to prevent the call from restarting (which can be caused by loud noises such as a dog barking, doorbell, or laughter). Upon securing a ticket, audience members will be asked to fill out a form providing their preferred phone number and mailing address. Tickets for PARTY LINE are available now through March 7. Each call is less than 10 minutes in length. Tickets for calls and an SASE are available on a Pay-What-You-Can basis at www.posttheatrical.org. Proceeds from ticket sales go toward paying the artists, robo-call technology, and production support provided by Real Time Interventions. Presented by Let's Make a Theatre Company, PARTY LINE is written and directed by Scott Adkins with sound design/engineering by Gavin Price. It is performed by Ellen Walz, Chris Padro, Shavell Fernandez, Peter Moriarty, Sara Meade, Trevor Vaughan, Izzy Hamboussi, and Leah Bickley. Scott R. Adkins, playwright.

Their goal is to explore, entertain but also enrich and educate both the artists and the audience in this new era of theatre and arts.

They are the next generation of theatre makers. They are the new precedent.
