In this week’s “Sightings” column, published in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, I examine the decision of the Chicago City Council to ban public smoking in the Windy City, and its subsequent refusal to exempt actors appearing in plays whose scripts call for their characters to smoke. What effect will this ban have on theater in Chicago–and on the city’s artistic reputation elsewhere in America?
For the answer, pick up a copy of tomorrow’s Journal and turn to the “Pursuits” section.
