"For the final
show of their second season, Spirit Gum Theatre Company will present Stop Kiss by Diana Son, July 31st-August

from different walks of life who meet in New York City and unexpectedly fall in
love. Neither have been involved in a homosexual relationship before and they
struggle to express their feelings for each other and to come out to their
friends. Their first kiss provokes a violent attack that changes their lives in
ways they could never have anticipated. This show is presented with support
from Theatre Alliance, who generously offered the use of their performance

“Diana Son’s Stop Kiss plays like an absorbing public-service announcement. The tale of the furtive lesbian romance that unfolds in the months before and after the commission of a brutal hate crime, the piece sensitively chronicles the sexual awakening of two appealing young women as they tiptoe around mutual desire.”
- Peter Marks, Washington Post
“To love is to declare oneself, and Stop Kiss should speak to anyone who has had to search deep within to find the strength and conviction to join hands with another. I can't remember when a love story has moved me more.”
- Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
