Gruesome Playground Injuries
by Stage Presence Players

Jul. 21 - Jul. 30, 2023
Fridays-Sundays

It's not your typical love story: Doug and Kayleen meet at the nurses office in their elementary school; shes got a painful stomach ache, and hes all banged up from a running dive off the roof of the school. Over the next thirty years, these scar-crossed lovers meet again and again, brought together by injury, heartbreak, and their own self-destructive tendencies. With great compassion and humor, playwright Rajiv Joseph (Broadways Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) crafts a compelling and unconventional love story about the intimacy between two people when they allow their defenses to drop and their wounds to show.

WARNING: This show presents material that some may find disturbing. Topics include: self harm, suicide, eating disorders, and substance abuse.Cast: Bethany Watkin and Michael Lovestrange

Directed by Andrea Littlefield

Jonathan Spear, Assistant Director
