STAGE KISS
Springboro Community Theatre
Sept. 13-22
Springboro Performing Arts Center
Directed by Aaron Joseph Brewer
Art imitates Life. Life imitates Art. When two actors with a history – SHE and HE – are thrown together as romantic leads in a forgotten 1930s melodrama about a dying socialite who recalls her former lover to her side, they quickly lose touch with reality as the feelings that the characters and the actors once had for each other reignite in a burst of passion. In real life, SHE is married to a banker, Harrison, and has a teenage daughter, Angela, while HE has a girlfriend, Laurie. As the farcical, romantic nature of their relationship plays out onstage and off, they are forced to confront the realities of their affair. Stage Kiss captures Sarah Ruhl’s singular voice; it is a charming tale about what happens when lovers share a stage kiss—or when actors share a real one.
