summer and smoke

a few weeks ago, collins, one of my grade school friends invited me to see summer and smoke a production that he had been working on. knowng VK would be game- i forwarded the info to her, got her hooked, and eventually set a date for august 27th.


i'd never been to the cluny theatre before and the setting was perfect- small, intimate, and not a single bad seat. not having read the play or at very least synopsis beforehand, i was apprehensive about being able to fully enjoy and/or understand everything. luckily my nervousness was unfounded as i was instantly and thoroughly engaged by the story and unveiling of the characters' idiosyncracies.

from the acting and the lighting to the effects and music were superb and i found myself forgetting that the actors were actors and that the play was a play. . . a truly wonderful few hours spent.
