Anna Deavere Smith is an acclaimed playwright and performer who has created countless memorable characters on television, in film, and on stage. Featured on the television programs Nurse Jackie and The West Wing, Smith has also starred in several films, including The American President, Philadelphia and Dave.
Throughout the past 20 years, she has interviewed over 2,000 individuals for her series of solo theatrical works called On The Road: A Search for American Character, which has been described as “a new form of theatre — a blend of theatrical art, social commentary, journalism and intimate reverie.” Without props, sets or costumes, she translates her interviews into performances that represent the vast diversity, race and cultural identity of both legendary and everyday people.
