Conversations with Anna Deavere Smith of NOTES FROM THE FIELD
Q&A with Anna Deavere Smith of NOTES FROM THE FIELD. Moderated by Richard Ridge, Broadway World.
This adaptation of Tony and Pulitzer Prize nominee Anna Deavere Smith’s acclaimed one-woman show dramatizes the accounts of students, parents, teachers and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline, which pushes underprivileged, minority youth out of the classroom and into incarceration. Drawn from interviews with more than 250 people living and working within a challenged system, and featuring Smith’s fearless portrayals of 18 real-life characters, the film shines a light on a lost generation of American youth, hoping to inspire awareness and change. Executive produced by Gary Goetzman, Anna Deavere Smith; produced by Frank Garritano, Emily Cohen, Steven Shareshian; directed by Kristi Zea; written by Anna Deavere Smith.
