Stop Kiss...


Past Production - March 2004
by Diana Son
Directed by Vint Lavinder
Sponsored by the Rankin File and Zonta Club of Billings

A poignant drama that focuses on the touching story of friends-turned-lovers, Sara and Callie, who are assaulted by a group of thugs for kissing. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play about the nature of love and the danger involved in following your heart.

The Rankin File:

The Rankin File, a group interested in seeing theatre from a woman's point of view, was formed in 1999 by Venture Theatre. When one looks at the plays that are produced nationwide, it is difficult to find much representation by women playwrights or feminine subject matter. In 1999, Venture Theatre solicited its patrons to see who would be excited about seeing more work about and by women. Twenty women came forward and donate $50 each to produce Parallel Lives. Our commitment to work concerning the lives of women continues and we'd like to thank the following members of the 2006 Rankin file for making this production possible.

Kelly Christy-Scrimshaw Heather Hooks
Chris Capetenakis Jaloo Zelonis
Melinda Middleton Sandra Vancleeve
Molly Johnson Susie Kurth
Jess Stickney Anne-Marie Wade
Gail Hein Mary Haynes
Janice Munsell Patricia Jaffray
Francie Mulholland Leslie Kerr
Pam Arpin Kathy MosdalO'Brien
Annette Patterson Cara Schaer
Jennifer Lyman Rita Heizer
Lynn Eggebrecht Joyce Fry
Becky Wiehe Ann Hefenieder
