EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The ninth season of the Jewel Box Series brings a topical drama “Stop Kiss” to El Paso’s Philanthropy Theatre.

Diana Son’s drama “Stop Kiss” performance is set at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9 at the Philanthropy Theatre, 125 Pioneer Plaza.

General admission tickets are $15 and can be available to purchase at the Plaza Theatre Box Office and Ticketmaster, the El Paso Community Foundation said in a news release.
