McDaniel College Theatre presents “Summer and Smoke” 

McDaniel College students perform in McDaniel College Theatre’s production of “Summer and Smoke.” 

Directed by Lecturer of Theatre Arts Richard Sautter, “Summer and Smoke” is a psychological drama written by acclaimed American playwright Tennessee Williams. Note: the show contains adult material and is intended for mature audiences.  

According to Sautter, “Passions and propriety collide in this overlooked gem by one of America’s greatest playwrights. ‘Summer and Smoke’ explores the humor, heartbreak, and violence simmering just below the surface of small-town American life.”  

Performances are Thursday, Nov. 19-Saturday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mainstage Theatre in WMC Alumni Hall.   

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students, seniors (over 60), active military members and veterans, as well as those with a McDaniel College ID. For ticket information, visit www.mcdaniel.edu/theatre-events. Call 410-857-2448 for additional information.
