A Brief History of Smoking Cigarettes

A Brief History of Smoking Cigarettes is a one-woman show that weaves together Deanna's personal relationship with cigarettes and the global history of the tobacco industry. Using puppets, live music, video, and audience interaction, the performance explores themes of colonization, capitalism, and the commodification of natural resources through the lens of one of the world's largest industries.

The show combines true stories, wide-ranging reflections, and playful engagement with the audience. It examines how the tobacco industry has shaped both global history and individual lives, told with both humor and heart.

Note: The production may include smoke and haze effects, but no tobacco products will be burned. Recommended for adult audiences; minimum age 16+.
