Created, written, and performed by Anna Deavere Smith
Music composed and performed by Marcus Shelby
Directed by Leonard Foglia


A leader in national conversations on race and justice, Anna Deavere Smith (Fires in the Mirror; Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992; Let Me Down Easy; “Nurse Jackie”) now asks audiences to talk back. Urgent and inspiring, Notes from the Field traces the connections between America’s education system and its mass incarceration crisis.


In act one, Smith’s trademark portrait performances introduce the students, parents, teachers, and administrators caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline. In the tradition of call and response, a second act invites audiences to engage in conversation on a network of difficult histories and devastating social policies.
