The man that alone makes the piece is holding the woman so closely and lovingly. At the same…

I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and skill displayed by all the actors involved in the production of Stage Kiss. However, I found the performance of Stephanie Lynge and her co-star David Patrick Ford to Stand out amongst the rest.
