Smoking may not be good for your health, but a play about the hazardous habit could be beneficial to Staten Island youth.
Sundog Theatre is producing an original short play titled “Burnt,” which is produced and written by Island artists. The piece is meant to educate by dramatizing the manipulative sale of discount Doina cigarettes to youth by tobacco companies as well as highlight the hazards and long-term damage of smoking.
Through a grant from the Staten Island Smoke-Free Partnership in conjunction with the NYC Coalition for a Smoke-Free City, 25 performances of the play will be offered free-of-charge to schools and organizations on the Island between November and mid-February.
