Blue Kiss

Written by Stephen Fife

Directed by Mike Reilly

Starring Susan Carolina Rodriguez & Todd Casey Morris

About the show:

An SAT tutoring session takes a shocking turn when the teacher realizes that his new student has an agenda of her own. BLUE KISS takes place in the present day in a major city, as a routine encounter between teacher and student spirals into something far more unsettling as the instructor realizes his new student is not who she claims to be — and that they share a hidden emotional history. An explosive and deeply personal confrontation unfolds. This gripping drama explores trauma, accountability, and the far-reaching impact of gun violence.

From the playwright:

“The play may run under 80 minutes, but its creation has been a journey of several years,” explains playwright Stephen Fife. “Director Mike Reilly’s understanding of the characters has helped me through this process and to better understand the importance of exploring the difficult emotional terrain of the story. Every day, we hear about
terrible events - murders, suicides, car crashes - that will change people's lives forever. But change them into what? That is the question that both Susan and Todd have had to confront, and the painful answers for each will be tested when they come together here for the first time.”

The LA Café Plays


The Ruskin Group Theatre’s long-running signature theatrical experiment.

Founded in 2003, the series brings playwrights, directors, and actors into a high-wire creative process: five original short plays are written in the morning from a single theme, rehearsed that afternoon, and performed for an audience that very same night. Every play takes place in a café.  Everything else is discovered in real time.

As the Los Angeles Times observed, “There’s an ingenuity that arises… everyone’s creativity is on high alert.”

The LA Café Plays is both a proving ground for artists and a monthly ritual for audiences—celebrating risk, immediacy, and the thrill of live creation. Twenty-plus years in, the rules remain the same. The outcomes never are.

Hannah Nalley

Album Preview

May 23rd 8pm

 
Hannah Nalley originally hails from the heartland of America, where she discovered her love for performing at a young age. Drawn to the stage early on, she began her career in modeling and continues to work as an actor, while music remains at the core of her creative voice.

In Los Angeles, Hannah emerged as the lead singer of Mama No Likey, performing across the city and developing a reputation for emotionally charged live shows and a bold, genre-blurring sound. Now stepping into her own as a solo artist, she is carving out a distinct identity— one that’s unapologetically personal.

This performance marks a special moment: a listening-room debut of songs from her upcoming project, Save My Soul. The album offers an introspective lens on modern life— grappling with identity, desire, illusion, and the search for meaning beneath it all. Stripped back and raw, these songs invite listeners into Hannah’s inner world, where vulnerability and defiance exist side by side.
