October 10-19, 2025

Prelude to a Kiss is a sweet and funny romantic fantasy that explores love beyond appearances. At Peter and Rita's wedding, a mysterious old man kisses the bride—and their souls magically switch bodies. As Peter struggles to understand the change, he must confront what truly defines a person. The play blends humor, poignancy, and magical realism to challenge conventional ideas of identity, aging, and unconditional love.

The play’s fantastical premise provides a treasure trove of interesting ideas about life and love.
