SMOKER to Premiere at United Solo Festival, 10/16
By: Tyler Peterson Sep. 16, 2015
Award winning monologist Bob Brader's new solo show, Smoker will have its World Premiere at the 6th Annual United Solo Festival on October 16th. The show is from the award-winning creative team, Bob Brader (writer/performer) and Suzanne Bachner (director/developer) whose previous work includes Bob Brader's shows Preparation Hex and the multi award winning Spitting In The Face Of The Devil. Both productions toured the U.S. and Canada to massive critical acclaim and Spitting In The Face Of The Devil is a 6-Time Best of Fest Award-Winner. The show is being produced by John Montgomery Theatre Company.
Smoker is the story of Bob's 28-year love affair with smoking, his fear of being without cigarettes and losing himself, and the love that got him to try to quit.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
Bob Brader & Suzanne Bachner are both members of the United Solo Academy and have been involved with the United Solo Theatre Festival since its inception in 2010. Their first production, Bob Brader's Spitting In The Face Of The Devil won Best Script at the Inaugural United Solo Theatre Festival and returned to sell out and win Best Encore at the United Solo in 2014. In 2012, Bob Brader performed Preparation Hex at the Third Annual United Solo. In addition to Bob Brader's Smoker, Suzanne and Bob will also be premiering Suzanne's new play, The Good Adoptee in United Solo 2015, which Suzanne is directing and Bob is dramaturging.
