Show Synopsis:

Lala makes fine art on the back of pizza boxes. A sweet and sticky summer inspires her to romance Dani, a budding feminist – and Albert, his smooth-talking twin. What’s good? Love or lust? Either way, she’ll find her muse. Playwright and poet Lenelle Moïse returns to her hometown with a heart-opening story for fans of David Bowie, bell hooks, and fireworks by the Charles. The Front Porch Arts Collective hooks up with The Huntington for this highly anticipated co-production, directed by Dawn M. Simmons.

“A highlight of the theatre season! Visually sumptuous!”

The Boston Globe

“Wildly funny! Exquisite! K-I-S-S-I-N-G is a thing of beauty! A fully realized work of art on every level.”

WBUR

“The most exciting new play Boston has seen in years! Run, don’t walk!”

Chris Ehlers, Boston Theater Critics Association

The most exhilarating show of the season. AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE!”
