As it turns out, the outlet was only a prop and not operational.
After removing the cell phone and returning it to its owner, the show’s crew made an announcement to the audience about why people should not try to charge their phones onstage.

Hand To God actor Sarah Stiles questioned whether the audience member was influenced by a full moon or if he was just an idiot.
