"When all is said, what is a kiss? An oath of allegiance taken in closer proximity...a fashion of inhaling each other's heart." — Cyrano, in Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac

Set in present day New York City, Callie, a savvy New Yorker, and Sara, a recent transplant from the Midwest, meet, become friends, and develop, much to their surprise, mutual affection, fears, and desires. In time, an unspoken attraction develops between the two. Playwright Diana Son uses a powerful theatrical device of two converging timelines: one of the events leading up to their first kiss, the other of the aftermath following the kiss. The New York Times describes Stop Kiss as "rresistibly exciting." Cynthia Lammel directs.
