Smokers in Minnesota may once again have the opportunity to light up in bars and restaurants due to an interesting interpretation on a Minnesota smoking ban.

A recent state ban on smoking in restaurants and other nightspots contains an exception for performers in theatrical productions. Some bars are evading the ban by posting playbills that encourage customers to come in costume, and pronouncing them “actors.”

The so-called “Theater Nights” have aspiring actors/customers polishing their acting chops by playing right along, happily puffing away and even maintaining their “character” with funny accents and some improvisation as well.
