Eye-opening, moving look into school-to-prison pipeline
The latest remarkable solo show from Anna Deavere Smith nears the end of its first run.
Smith delves deeply into another huge aspect of American life with her customary consummate artistry, transforming herself into a wide variety of the people she’s interviewed to draw indelible connections between the high rates of incarceration of marginalized youth to questions of how justice and education work in America and where we want to invest our resources for the future.
Smith is an ever more astonishing performer in a piece as eye-opening as it is sure-handed and emotionally moving.
