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.
The john mitchell jr. project
The Firehouse Theatre, in collaboration with the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the Richmond Planet Foundation, has commissioned playwright Kristen Adele Calhoun to dramatize the life and times of John Mitchell Jr., the “fighting editor” of The Richmond Planet Newspaper. The John Mitchell Jr. Project serves as a pilot for ongoing partnership between Firehouse Theatre and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture to dramatize untold stories from Virginia's history. Project strategy and marketing will be provided by BROWNBAYLOR™.
