Due To High Ticket Demand
Anna Deavere Smith’s
NOTES FROM THE FIELD
Extends at Second Stage Theatre One Week
Now Playing Through Sunday, December 18
Due to extremely high ticket demand, Anna Deavere Smith’s critically acclaimed new work, NOTES FROM THE FIELD, will extend for one week and will now play through Sunday, December 18th at Second Stage Theatre (305 West 43rd Street). The production, directed by Leonard Foglia and featuring original music composed and performed by Marcus Shelby, opened to rave reviews on November 2nd and was originally scheduled to close on Sunday, December 11th. Tickets for all remaining performances are available online at 2ST.com or by calling the box office at 212-246-4422.
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. Urgent and inspiring, it depicts the personal accounts of students, parents, teachers and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline, as they experience in their wider communities the inequities of poverty, lack of opportunity, and over-aggressive policing. Investigating a justice system that pushes minors from poor communities out of the classroom and into incarceration, NOTES FROM THE FIELD shines a light on a lost generation of American youth. Drawn from interviews with more than 250 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.
TICKET INFORMATION
Tickets are $85 - $100 with a limited number of $30 tickets for those ages 30 and under. Season subscriptions starting at $150 are available by calling the Second Stage Box Office at 212-246-4422, visiting the company’s website www.2ST.com or the Tony Kiser Theatre at 305 West 43rd Street. Box office hours are Sunday – Friday 12:00pm to 6:00pm and Saturday 12:00pm to 7:00pm.
