NOTES FROM THE FIELD: DOING TIME IN EDUCATION
Created, written and performed by ANNA DEAVERE SMITH (CAST)
Dir: LEONARD FOGLIA
1st reh: 10/11/16. 1st Preview 10/15. Closes: 12/11

One of the most hailed and provocative theatre artists of our time, Anna Deavere Smith, leads a new installation of powerful first person storytelling in NOTES FROM THE FIELD: DOING TIME IN EDUCATION. Urgent and inspiring, it depicts the personal accounts of students, parents, teachers and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline. Investigating a justice system that pushes minors from poor communities out of the classroom and into incarceration, Notes from the Field: Doing Time in Education shines 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.

If you knew in advance exactly what was going to happen in your life, and how everything was going to turn out, and if you knew you couldn't do anything to change it, would you still want to go on with your life? That is the question facing Bee who, much to her new boyfriend’s confusion, can click through different moments in her life with the touch of a remote control. Past, present and future collide in this mathematical farce that questions whether we can make peace with those things we don’t have the power to change.

Bee – female, early 30s

Bee 2, 3, 4 – female, 60s or 70s
