Smoking ban's day in court
DenverPost.com: "In Curious Theatre's upcoming world premiere staging of 'tempOdyssey,' it's not the presence of cigarette smoke that makes an artistic point. 'It is the absence of smoke,' said director Chip Walton."

I have to admit that I go back and forth on the issue. There are alernatives to smoking, and perhaps this will lead to a solution that will solve a lot of problems. If they say "you can't smoke onstage," we'll just have to find an alternative. That way, we won't have to deal with actors who don't know how to smoke or don't want to smoke! Maybe this is a blessing in disguise!!
I think it will be interesting when smoking doesn't really exist anymore and that when you see someone smoking on stage or in a movie or anything like that, it will be a dated and a period kind of thing. I wonder how that is going to affect the entertainment industry and if things will really change. I suppose that we will have to just hang on and find out...
