Paul Slade Smith
Actor & Playwright

Playwright news:

A beautiful review from the Chicago Tribune of Northlight Theatre's production THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR - running through May 10.

"The Angel Next Door” is an ode to the joy of theater, so it’s a fitting choice to send Northlight off to its new home. The script lightly pokes fun at the lofty ambitions of theater-makers who aim to change lives through their art, while ultimately affirming the power of theater to lift people’s spirits. As Charlotte wisely opines, “We write happy endings because we need them.” - Chicago Tribune

Among the 30 regional productions of Paul's plays scheduled for 2026, highlights include:
  • ​UNNECESSARY FARCE at Florida's Broadway Palm.
  • UNNECESSARY FARCE at Buffalo Theatre Ensemble, home to last year's Chicago-area premiere of THE OUTSIDER.
  • The Chicago-area premiere of THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR at Northlight Theatre.
  • ​THE OUTSIDER at Lyric Repertory Company, opening July 9.​

Information on all three plays can be found here. For licensing or to purchase a script, visit Dramatists Play Service.
