STOP KISS

A One-Night-Only Public Theater Reunion After 26 Years

Monday, April 29, 2024

7:00PM Reading of STOP KISS

@The Public Theater 

On April 29, we invite you to join us for a special reading of STOP KISS reuniting original cast members Jessica Hecht as Callie and Sandra Oh as Sara. Playwright Diana Son will direct this one-night-only celebration of her boundary-breaking play that won the GLAAD Media Award for Best New York Production and was on the Top 10 Plays lists of The New York Times, Newsday, New York Daily News, and other major publications.

Benefit tickets begin at $100 and will support The Public's year-round programming and activities including this summer's Go Public! A Festival of Free Shakespeare in the Park.

Diana Son is a television writer and producer whose credits include The West Wing, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Southland, Dirty John, Blue Bloods and Thirteen Reasons Why, where she served as showrunner. She first came to fame as a young playwright in 1998 with the acclaimed play Stop Kiss, which premiered at the Public Theatre and starred an unknown Sandra Oh. In a Zoom interview, Catherine and Juliana learn about Diana’s recent bout with Covid-19, her experience being the only Asian or Asian woman in countless writing rooms and her most recent project, an adaptation of the novel If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha into a series for Apple.
