Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center Cafritz Foundation Theatre.

Free admission, no tickets required.

Description: How do you cope when everything you’ve learned begins falling apart? Sam Mauceri’s original work Seagirl utilizes theatre, dance and movement to explore a young woman’s attempts at unpacking her own prejudices in a world that wishes she wouldn’t. Feminist punk music and a longing for radical ideas invade a culture of conventionality in this partnership between The School of Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies and The Weekday Players.

STOP KISS
By Diana Son
Directed by dr. emma hadley

Description: A poignant and funny play about the ways, both sudden and slow that lives can change irrevocably. Sara and Callie are walking through New York City’s West Village very late at night, when they share their first kiss. This leads to a vicious attack by an angry bystander, in which Sara is horribly injured. She falls into a coma, which becomes one of the major subjects of the play. George, Callie’s good friend, tries to help with the situation, but there is little he can do. Peter, Sara’s ex-boyfriend from St. Louis, comes to help nurse her back to health. Throughout Stop Kiss, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play. The story is told out of chronological order: alternating scenes take place respectively before and after the assault, which is not shown onstage.

“A sweet, sad, and enchantingly sincere play” The NY Times

Produced by Charis Center for the Arts.
