Three Deaf roommates get more than they bargained for when mysterious messages from Alexander Graham Bell start appearing on a vintage teletypewriter phone (TTY). Told in American Sign Language, spoken English, and English captioning, playwright Aimee Chou puts a delightfully entertaining twist on horror, a genre known for challenging culture and subverting expectations. An obsessive search for the truth of the afterlife only reveals more secrets and challenges us to look at how we bridge our worlds today.

[Image description: promotional poster for Sound Theatre Company's production of Autocorrect Thinks I'm Dead, by Aimee Chou. At the top, the title is in typewriter font except for the word "Dead" which is bold and menacing. At the center are three people (Kai Winchester, Brittany Rupik, and Phelan Conheady) looking at each other as they stand behind an oddly green teletypewriter overlaid with the words "Go Ahead. Send Kill." Production details are in the margins. End of description.]
