Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the play "HEDY! The Life and Inventions of Hedy Lamarr" on Friday, March 22, 2019 inside The Cube.

Hedy Lamarr, glamorous siren of the silver screen, was more than the most beautiful woman in the world. She invented frequency hopping and spread spectrum technology that make the world of wireless communication tick. From Austria to Hollywood, WWII, torpedoes, ecstasy, and intrigue to the very cell phone in your pocket, she was there!

The play is written and performed by Heather Massie.

Admission is free, but tickets are highly recommended due to the limited seating.

As part of this unique engagement, there will be a pre-show technical talk in the Grand Lobby. Dr. R. Michael Buehrer, professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will share a brief history of wireless communications along with some stories about Hedy. This featured discussion will begin at 1:30 pm.
