Photo Flash: First Look at South Coast Rep's SMOKEFALL World Premiere

In three short acts, Noah Haidle's play "Smokefall" tells the story of three generations of a middle-American family that lives in Grand Rapids, Mich. You might easily mistake them for being "typical" at first, but thanks to Haidle's fertile imagination and his willingness to set aside the conventions of the realistic play, this family and its story are full of surprises.

Join South Coast Repertory for the world premiere of Smokefall, running now through April 28, 2013. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

This endearing drama tells the story of three generations of an eccentric Midwestern family on the verge of big changes. Two new souls are about to enter the world. Time present, time past and time future converge as family members await the arrival of Violet's twin babies. The promise of new life is in the air-but so is the inevitability of change. Magical and tragic, funny and fascinating, paradoxical and profound, with surprises at every turn, Haidle's tale offers a lyrical meditation on the mystery and fragility of life.
