• ... that Sagittarius Ponderosa by playwright MJ Kaufman recreates the scent of a tree as part of the performance? Source: Paragraph begins: "Take Sagittarius Ponderosa, a new play by MJ Kaufman ..." https://www.americantheatre.org/2016/02/24/aroma-turgy-whats-smell-got-to-do-with-it/
  • ALT1: ... that audiences who watched Sagittarius Ponderosa by playwright MJ Kaufman smelled butterscotch as part of the staging? Source: "Inside and outside can become the same place, and to that end, an early stage direction suggests that when Archer first approaches the Ponderosa pine, the entire audience can smell it. “It’s a super-distinctive smell that not everyone would recognize, but I still wanted them to have a sense of it,” Kaufman says. “It’s a super-specific, unique experience to be in a dark, forested area, and all you can smell is the butterscotch smell of this tree. I felt like that was part of the magical landscape in that scene.” https://www.americantheatre.org/2016/02/24/aroma-turgy-whats-smell-got-to-do-with-it/

• I take, will review in the next 24 hours.--Launchballer 12:44, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Long enough, new enough, both QPQs done, Earwig's clean. I trimmed WP:BROADWAYWORLD as a source in one of them. Still need to check the hooks.--Launchballer 13:03, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Approving ALT0 only; ALT1 wouldn't have flown anyway as the article attributes and the hook doesn't, but I've actually removed the claim from the article.--Launchballer 14:31, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
