No Smoking On Stage

NPR's Mark Roberts reports on a drama that's moved offstage in Boulder, Colorado and before the city council. A recent ordinance bans smoking in public places, and a few theater-goers filed complaints after actors lit up onstage during a performance of "Grand Hotel" at a dinner theater. The city says the law's the law; the theater claims it's censorship. The city council is set to take up the issue today.
