Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Stop Kiss
by Diana Son
Directed by M. Shane Grant
New York City, 1990s. Callie is a traffic reporter coasting through life in a cluttered apartment across from the park. Sara is a midwesterner who just moved to the Bronx to teach third grade—idealistic, focused, and everything Callie isn't. They meet because of a cat. They become friends. And then, slowly, they become something neither of them expected. Late one night in the West Village, they share their first kiss. What happens next changes everything. Diana Son's play unfolds out of order—before and after, falling in love and picking up the pieces—asking how we find the courage to become who we are, and what it costs when the world won't let us. Tender, funny, and devastating.
