Readers Theater: Stop Kiss

Stop Kiss is a poignant play about two New York women, Callie and Sara, who develop a deep friendship that unexpectedly blossoms into romance, culminating in their first kiss in the West Village, which triggers a brutal, homophobic attack by a stranger, leaving Sara in a coma and forcing both women to confront love, hate, identity, and the aftermath of violence through a non-linear narrative. The story explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and resilience as Callie cares for Sara and grapples with the attack's impact, highlighting the fragility of love and the enduring power of human connection in the face of prejudice.
