‘Stevie’ and Smoke
If you are in the least bothered by cigarette smoke, stay away from the Los Angeles Theater Center’s production of “Stevie Wants to Play the Blues.”
We have just come from a preview of this “play” and were driven out of the theater at intermission by constant smoking by the actors and (for no apparent reason) clouds of stage smoke billowing from doors and windows between each scene.
It seems rather ridiculous for the LATC to prohibit smoking in the lobby and then assault its audience with this same carcinogenic agent from the stage.
