DETROIT—Next up at the Hilberry Theatre is Sarah Ruh’s Stage Kiss April 24 to May 10. Tickets are available online at https://www.theatreanddanceatwayne.com/stagekiss/ .

When two actors with a history are thrown together as romantic leads in a forgotten 1930s melodrama, they quickly lose touch with reality as the story onstage follows them offstage. Stage Kiss, by renowned playwright Sarah Ruhl, is a charming tale about what happens when characters share a stage kiss — or when actors share a real one.
