Gruesome Playground Injuries at Abbott Memorial Theatre

This is not your typical love story: Doug (Josh Telepman) and Kayleen (Kimberly Blaise) meet at the nurse’s office in their elementary school; she’s got a painful stomachache, and he’s all banged up from a running dive off the roof of the school. Over the next thirty years, these scar-crossed lovers meet again and again, brought together by injury, heartbreak, and their own self-destructive tendencies.

Content Warning: This play contains discussions of death, sexual abuse, and violence, including self-harm, strong language including abelist slurs, as well as onstage depictions of blood, vomit, and smoking.
