STOP KISS

Director: Kyle Vasquez

A staged reading to benefit our local LGBTQ+ community! Half the proceeds go to to support Trans Families of Santa Cruz & the Safe Schools Project. The other half goes into our scholarship fund for LGBTQ+ youth.

“A poignant and funny play about the ways, both sudden and slow, that lives can change irrevocably,” says Variety. After Callie meets Sara, the two unexpectedly fall in love. Their first kiss provokes a violent attack that transforms their lives in a way they could never anticipate.

As a staged reading benefit, this show will have minimal rehearsals and will have just 2 performances.
