MacArthur Foundation says so. YBCA welcomes Anna Deavere Smith, the MacArthur
Award-winning actress, playwright, and educator. Her work has been described as
“a blend of theatrical art, social commentary, journalism, and intimate
reverie,” combining the journalistic technique of interviewing her subjects
with the art of interpreting their words through performance. Her most recent
work Let Me Down Easy deals with the subject of healthcare. It
ran for six months at New York’s Second Stage Theater, and then toured for nine
months around the U.S. She has had roles on television on Nurse Jackie and The
West Wing, has appeared in several films, authored two books, and has
written for publications including The New York Times, Newsweek,
and The New Yorker. Smith will be joined on stage by Steven
Anthony Jones, the Artistic Director of the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, who
is an actor, director, and teacher who has worked in theater companies across
the country, and has been a member of the Core Acting Company at San
