You may consider that an odd trait for a play about violence, racism, immigration and the dangerous effects of celebrity culture, but it happens to be true. In our media environment we are frequently confronted by enormities that leave us very…

Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival

Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival

by Jack L. B. Gohn · July 16, 2026
