Streamed Performance: Easy Women Smoking Loose Cigarettes

Though the live performances of "Easy Women Smoking Loose Cigarettes" in Arlington, VA were canceled as part of the community's efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Signature Theatre is thrilled to offer audiences the chance to experience the show from home through this video recorded performance, made in March 2020.

Marian, the matriarch of a far-flung Jewish family, had happily settled into retirement life with her new husband Richard. However, when a pregnant niece, the troubled boy next door and a distressed daughter with a secret show up at her door, Marian’s empty nest ends up a little fuller than she imagined. This firecracker play by DC area playwright Dani Stoller takes the dysfunction, puts it back in the family, then gives it a hilarious—and subversive—stir.
