Stage Kiss (Kramer)
by Michael R. Kramer

Kevin and Jill meet during auditions for a community theatre play.

Kevin immediately expresses his dismay about the director's decision to have the actors read a kiss scene, with real kissing required.

What starts as a debate between two strangers about the wisdom of the director's demands evolves into a funny and fragile connection as two lonely individuals confront their insecurities about romance, sex, and, of course, kissing.
