Tin Can Telephones was a 10-minute piece that invited five volunteer audience members to be Isabella's scene partners. Her script was set and full of questions for the five characters, and the audience members responded with whatever felt right in the moment to questions like, "Why did you tell me___?" and "Do you remember what you said about___?" Every performance was different, the responses she got from the volunteered cast shaped the tone of the piece massively.
