Smoke

by ENID GRAHAM

Directed by Anna Senechal Johnson
May 22-June 7, 2025
presented by cadence theatre

In a world where consumerism is king, distraction is everywhere and public discourse is shot, a couple from New York City arrive at a rented McMansion on a hill to attend a family wedding. Smoke is a darkly funny play about what happens when truth is up for grabs.

Smoke is made possible by the generous support of Byrne Canaan Law, the Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the Virginia Commission for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
