Smoke

The Shelton Theater
533 Sutter St. San Francisco

From torch songs to tango, Santa Cruz singing sensation Lori Rivera explores the power of love in this one-woman cabaret show. In Smoke, Rivera brings two endearing characters to life through dialogue and song. Sweet Celeste is looking for Mr. Right with a dangerously open heart. Her innocence is countered by the worldly Francesca, master of erotic strategy, who becomes a mentor to Celeste through love, loss and triumph. Rivera has performed in a cappella pop groups the Bobs and SoVoSo, and received a Gail Rich Award from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council in 2011.
