Bob Brader's riveting, award winning story about his love affair with smoking and how they broke up. It's "Addictive Theater!"

The Performing Arts Studio

<h3>Can you imagine giving up something you LOVE? </h3><a href="https://smokertheplay.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Smoker </a>is award-winning New York monologist Bob Brader's acclaimed solo comedy about his 28-year love affair with smoking and how they broke up. As he tries to leave his first love: “those sweet Camel lights” Bob realizes all the complex connections he has through smoking: how it helped him through a turbulent childhood, created jobs,opportunities and community, and one particular connection almost too precious to let go. At once hilarious and cautionary, Smoker expertly illuminates addiction with universal resonance. ★★★★★ Critics' Choice "Smoker is Smooth and Satisfying!”— All About Solo“Smoker is Addictive Theatre: It’s 80 minutes of storytelling that feels like 30, a feat few actors have the talent to pull off. Smoker is compelling theatre, fueled by Brader’s masterful storytelling and acting talent, a show that must not be missed!” — The London Free Press“One of Brader’s gifts is that he can take what seems a personal story and make it universal. Smoker is very much an American story, in the tradition of Arthur Miller. Brader’s signature mix of humor, autobiography and his fantastic gift for storytelling sets the bar high.” — The London Yodeler“Bob Brader’s autobiographical, eloquent and entertaining solo play Smoker is a solid addition to the literary genre exploring the mystique and fetishization of smoking cigarettes.” — Theater Scene"Bob Brader is a dynamic storyteller with a wonderful, strong voice and a talent for creating visuals and characters…We’re hooked!” — Winnipeg Free Press“Bob Brader’s Smoker is the Standout Performance…His autobiographical storytelling style and stage presence has more honesty than I’ve seen in a long while…In Brader’s tale love conquers all. A Winner!” — New York Theatre Wire“I've seen a lot of solo shows and this one stands out from the pack. Whether you're a smoker or not, Smoker brilliantly written and performed by Bob Brader and directed by Suzanne Bachner will move you as a human being and inspire you as a solo performer. It is the perfect storm of excellent writing, incredible storytelling, magnificent acting and impressive and deft direction. Don't miss it!” — Robin Gelfenbien-Storyteller, Speaker and Co-Founder of The Story WhisperersDirectly following the show, there will be a Talkback hosted by Totally True Things producer/creator <a href="https://www.judetrederwolff.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jude Treder-Wolff</a> with writer/performer <a href="https://bobbrader.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bob Brader</a>, director/developer <a href="https://linktr.ee/suzannejouve" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Suzanne Bachner </a>and our Guest Expert, John Martin, Suffolk County Office of Health Education.
