The College of Southern Maryland’s Theatre Company announces its cast for the Cause Theatre production of “Stop Kiss,” a play by Diana Son and presented with special arrangement by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
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. “A poignant and funny play about the ways, both sudden and slow, that lives can change irrevocably,” says Variety.
CSM’s Cause Theatre offers several touring shows per semester, each bringing to light a different social issue, designed to be informative and challenging. Each is followed by a facilitated discussion. “Stop Kiss,” presents the issue of homophobia.
