Touch (Finkle)

In Touch, Rapp portrays Syd Blatter, a middle-aged gay man, failed writer, and burned-out fifth-grade teacher whose carefully managed life is thrown into chaos when an unexpected encounter with a former student sends him spiraling into anxiety, regret, desire, and reckoning. At turns intense, sharply funny, and deeply moving, the play invites audiences into a raw examination of memory, responsibility, and the unintended consequences of human connection. Intimate by design, Touch asks a provocative question that lingers long after the lights go down: what are the moral ramifications of everything we touch?
