Science and spirit form a perfect union between Kyle, a reserved young astronomer, and Zoe, his flamboyant, vivacious soulmate. But one night, something as profoundly dark, chaotic, and infinite as the night sky turns Kyle's enviable happiness upside-down. Tracing Kyle's journey through terrifying unanswered questions and memories of the rarest, deepest love, this moving drama explores the miracle and fragility of human connection.

"A gripping, heart-wrenching, tender drama whose scenes shift seamlessly, character to character, past to present."

Urban Samurai's production of TOUCH was chilling and provocative and endearing, all in one breath. The cast had their work cut out for them. The script is a challenging piece of theatre, downright scary on one hand, and then lovesick to the point it makes your bones ache to watch, on another. There were moments in the show where I literally had to remind myself to keep breathing in and out. And when a show can elicit that kind of a physical response in its audience, it is a dime well spent in my book. Matt Greseth's performance as Kyle is a strict do-not-miss. You will be terrified and stunned by his performance, as well as the dynamic cast of TOUCH. --Alexis Clarksean Did you see this production?REVIEW IT!
