Tickets Now On Sale for Anna Deavere Smith's Notes From the Field at Second Stage

Tickets are now available for Tony nominee Anna Deavere Smith's return to Second Stage. She reunites with director Leonard Foglia to begin Second Stage's 2016-2017 off-Broadway season with Notes From the Field. The documentary solo show begins performances on October 15 at the Tony Kiser Theatre and will officially open on November 2.

Created, written and performed by Smith, Notes from the Field depicts the personal accounts of students, parents, teachers and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline. Smith and Foglia's previous performance collaboration, Let Me Down Easy, had its 2008 premiere at Second Stage. As previously reported, Notes from the Field also kicked off American Repertory Theater's season in August.

Urgent and inspiring, Notes from the Field investigates a justice system that pushes minors from poor communities out of the classroom and into incarceration, shining a light on a lost generation of American youth. Drawn from interviews with more than 200 people living and working within a challenged system, Anna Deavere Smith continues her mastery of the documentary solo performance by stimulating awareness and ultimately, change for the better.
