Stop Kiss at the Charis Center, Mar 28-Apr 13

Stop Kiss at the Charis Center, Mar 28-Apr 13

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.

Parental advisory: adult themes.

A black sergeant cries out in the night, “They still hate you,” then is shot twice and falls dead. Set in 1944 at Fort Neal, a segregated army camp in Louisiana, Charles Fuller’s forceful drama – which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 – tracks the investigation of this murder. “A Soldier’s Play” is more than a detective story: it is a tough, incisive exploration of racial tensions and ambiguities among blacks, and between blacks and whites that gives no easy answers, and assigns no simple blame.

All tickets for “A Soldier’s Play” are $15.00

For reservations, call the box office at (410) 757-5700 or (301) 832-4819, or purchase tickets online at this link.
