Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater, Washington DC's newly remodeled theater, will launch the national tour of Second Stage Theatre's production Let Me Down Easy, a one-woman production, which is conceived, written and performed by Anna Deavere Smith (Nurse Jackie, Fires in the Mirror). The show was named one of Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 of 2009. Let Me Down Easy runs December 31, 2010-February 13, 2011 in the Kreeger Theater.
Following Let Me Down Easy's run with Arena Stage, the production will continue its national tour at the Wexner Center for the Arts in the Lincoln Theatre (February 22-27, 2011), Philadelphia Theatre Company (March 18-April 10, 2011), and San Diego Repertory Theater and La Jolla Playhouse in association with Vantage Theatre (April 27-May 15, 2011), among other venues that have yet to be announced.
Anna Deavere Smith is an actress, playwright and author. She has performed in film and TV as well as on stage. She currently plays Gloria Akalitus on Showtime's hit series Nurse Jackie. She's probably most recognizable in popular culture as Nancy McNally, national security advisor on NBC's former hit The West Wing.
