Anyone who was in the downtown area of Santa Fe on Sunday knows about the power outage we had. There are lots of inconvenient places you can find yourself when the power goes down — like on a library computer! But what happens when the power goes out in the middle of a theater performance? Well, if that performance is Dead Man's Cell Phone at the Santa Fe Playhouse, the audience will be patient, but when staff offers are made for postponement or restitution, the audience will say "But can't the actors just finish now?" To which the amazingly flexible actors will enthusiastically agree, and finish out their performance in the semi-gloom by the light of the opened side door, earning themselves a standing ovation and awarding the audience with one of the coolest theater experiences ever.And the power outage just made the final line of the play shine like a diamond, but if you want to know what that line was and why it was so perfect, you'll have to see or read the play!
