THE STORY: Kyle Kalke, an astronomer since childhood, a high school "science nerd," falls in love with flamboyant, outspoken, openhearted Zoe, who - astonishingly - loves him back. When she is kidnapped and murdered, Kyle barricades himself by devoting himself more feverishly to the cosmos and losing himself in loveless sex. TOUCH is about a man in despair questioning whether there is any point to rediscovering passion, risking connection, groping toward the touch that will rekindle joy.
"
a gripping, heart-wrenching, tender drama whose scenes shift seamlessly, character to character, past to present." - NY Times. "So often these days, theater aspires to nothing more than sheer escapism. But now and then, a deeply touching play comes along. TOUCH is one of those." - Miami Herald. "Toni Press-Coffman's play celebrates the beauty of survival with eloquence and grace." - Portland Oregonian.
