Theatre UAF will present the play “Stop Kiss,” written by Diana Son and directed by Carrie Baker, in the Salisbury Theatre from Friday, Oct. 30, through Sunday, Nov. 8.
“Stop Kiss” tells the love story of Callie and Sara, whose first kiss leads to a violent attack. Their journey together is told on stage by seniors Katrina Kuharich and Sierra Trinchet.
This play is R-rated for adult language, implied partial nudity and implied violence. Attendees must be at least 18 years old.
