Anna Deavere Smith will appear at New Brunswick’s State Theatre, as part of the SmartTalk Connected Conversations series, on Tuesday, May 24 at 7:30 pm.
The program will include theatrical performance elements, as Smith steps away from the podium, transforming herself into characters she has created and selected for each event. These living portraits of both legendary and everyday people illustrate and illuminate the themes of her topics.
Smith’s solo works include Let Me Down Easy, Twilight: Los Angeles 1992 and Fires in the Mirror. She currently co-stars as Gloria Akalitus in Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, and is also well known for her previous television work as Nancy McNally on NBC’s The West Wing.
