LOVE/SICK is a collection of love stories—some of which involve life-changing kisses. But—portraying love in the age of COVID-19 is quite different from portraying love in the pre-COVID-19 era. So our actors will not be kissing in tonight’s performance—for safety’s sake. Which means that we had to figure out how to portray kissing — when our actors can’t kiss. And I think we have figured it out! We have found our own creative and theatrical way to represent these kisses—so that our actors are safe—and so that you know when there is kissing in tonight's performance, so that the stories we’re telling make sense. And—we want you to know that this isn’t how LOVE/SICK is normally performed. Normally, the actors would just kiss when kissing is called for. But we’re excited to reimagine how to portray all the kissing in this play as we tell its stories of love—in the time of COVID-19."   - John Cariani
