About Call Me Izzy

Six-time Emmy® Award winner and Tony Award® nominee Jean Smart returns to Broadway for 12 weeks only in a tour-de-force portrayal of a writer whose words are her greatest gift, her biggest secret, and her only way out. Written by Jamie Wax and directed by Sarna Lapine, Call Me Izzy is a can’t-miss theatrical event and a moving portrait of one woman’s refusal to be silenced through her own sheer tenacity, humor, and fiery imagination.
