Alexis Gregory’s Smoke: A Darkly Comic Thriller Tackling Queer Addiction

Playwright and performer Alexis Gregory discusses his provocative new play Smoke, an urban thriller that uses dark humor to explore the normalization of hard drug use and addiction within the LGBTQ+ community. Staged with a raw, “guerrilla theater” approach, the production includes post-show panel discussions hosted by the organization You Are Loved to provide a safe space for audiences to engage with the play’s challenging themes of isolation and recovery.
