Arnette, Mello, Johnston Set for Stage Reading of STOP KISS, 1/16

Diana Son's play 'Stop Kiss' will receive a one-night only stage reading on January 16.  The reading will be performed by Crystal Arnette as Sara, Jennifer Mello as Callie, Jared Johnston as Peter, Jeremy Seglem as George, Mary Leggio as Mrs. Winsley/Nurse and Bernard Burlew as Detective Cole. Directing will be Brian Letchworth; Sarah Jane Arnegger will produce the event.

According to press notes, 'Stop Kiss', according to press notes, "is about loving and the consequences of loving - both wonderful and terrifying, both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Through humor and ordinary interactions, important questions are asked: When do we risk our personal safety for the sake of speaking our truth? What happens when our hearts are open to another person? Taking risks, both personal and emotional, is at the core of Diana Son's deceptively simple play. Stop... or go forward? Kiss... or keep walking? Speak up... or stay silent?"

'Stop Kiss' was produced Off-Broadway in 1998 at The Public Theater in New York City, and starred Sandra Oh and Jessica Hecht.

'Stop Kiss' will be held at Hunter College for one-night only on January 16. The reading commences at 8PM.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by clicking here. The Ida K. Lang RecitAl Hall at Hunter College is located at 695 Park Avenue.
