Performances are Friday at 8:30 PM and Saturday at 2 and 8:30 PM as part of the 2026 Scranton Fringe Festival. Written by Anton Chekhov, this short comedic play receives a playful revival infused with modern style, physical comedy and silliness. The story begins with a man tasked by his wife with delivering a lecture about the harmful effects of tobacco. As he attempts to stick to the assigned subject, the presentation takes unexpected turns. This production approaches Chekhov’s classic work through clowning and a playful relationship with the original material. Tickets are $15. On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco brings Chekhov’s classic comedy to life with a playful modern approach in Scranton.
