THE SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT!
Announcing the 2013 Galens Smoker:
Oh Glaucoma! How the Midwest was Won!

Friday, March 1st & Saturday, March 2nd, 2013
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm

This year's show is based on the greatest movies and musicals that the Western genre has to offer. Gather 'round the campfire as we tell the tale of a plucky Midwestern hospital that finds itself on the edge of a fiscal cliff after investing all its money in a newfangled highfalutin' rootin-tootin' E-lectronic medical record system. We'll follow a rag-tag band of underdog physicians as they traverse the frontier looking for a way to save their beloved hospital, and find adventure, mayhem, and romance along the way!

How to Buy Tickets

Tickets can be purchased from Smoker Cast members in both the hospital cafeteria and medical school lobby in the two weeks leading up to the show. Tickets will be $10 when purchased in person, $11 online, or $12 at the door on the evening of the performance.

Tickets purchased online through this page and will be held at will-call at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. The $1.00 charge for online tickets (as compared to purchasing in person) helps to cover credit card charges and web development.

T-shirts and DVD's will be on sale at the door or will be available by contacting us.

Patron Tickets

Patron tickets are one of the most important ways you can contribute to the life of the Smoker. For a minimum donation of $80 for two tickets, you will receive preferred seating, a word of thanks in our program, and the undying gratitude of generations of students who have participated in the Smoker (not to mention the undying gratitude of the over-worked Smoker Czars!). Additional patron tickets are available for $10 for each additional ticket.
