The performance is on February 8th at 8:00 pm.
KISS YOUR DARLINGS is the cuttings from your living room floor. It's the poems that didn't make the book, the scene that got cut, the song left off the album. It's an always changing, always flowing showcase of the pieces you love most, that no one else has ever seen. Your darlings. Bring them. We promise to give them lots of little kisses.
Group Project features the in-progress work of 3 different artists, each bringing a short Darling to share, followed by a brief Q&A. Like a tapas of darlings, with great conversation. Kiss Your Darlings will be performed at Makers' Ensemble on February 8th at 8:00 pm.
