“Stop Kiss” by Diana Son

Directed by Tiffani Brooks HaganStop Kiss

Sara and Callie have recently met and quickly become close. As they are walking through New York City's West Village late one night, they share their first kiss and are viciously attacked by an angry bystander, leading to a horrible injury. The play jumps in time to both before and after the attack, showing us in an out-of-order sequence how Sara and Callie meet and fall in love.

Throughout Stop Kiss, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended as these characters learn more about themselves through each other. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play while showing us how drastically one moment in time can change someone’s life.

“A Raisin in the Sun” By Lorraine Hansberry

Stop KissDirected by Darren Canady

A Raisin in the Sun is a play by Lorraine Hansberry that debuted on Broadway in 1959. The title comes from the poem "Harlem" (also known as "A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes). The story tells of a black family's experiences in south Chicago, as they attempt to improve their financial circumstances with an insurance payout following the death of the father, and deals with matters of housing discrimination, racism, and assimilation.

The New York Drama Critics' Circle named it the best play of 1959, and in recent years publications such as The Independent and Time Out have listed it among the best plays ever written.
