SUMMER AND SMOKE is about "spirit and sensuality" set in Glorious Hill, Mississippi in 1913.  A Minister's daughter, Alma Winemiller (Taylor Graves) is secretly in love with her next door neighbor's son, John Buchanan (Jacques Mitchell), a recent graduate from John Hopkins Medical School to follow in his father's footsteps as a doctor but loosely based morals, drinking, and gambling almost cost him his respectable lineage. Alma represents Puritanism and spirituality while John mendacity and the flesh, in essence, star-crossed lovers at opposite sides of the spectrum of mores.  How will this life-long loving friendship from childhood resolve itself? The cast performed well and Mrs. Winemiller (Cynthia Shaw) although a nut was quite aware underneath her facade--she added an element of fun and delight to this bittersweet story.

Any story written by Tennessee Williams is remarkable and I'd highly recommend to see Summer and Smoke at T. Schreiber Studio for Theatre & Film.
