More information about Call Me Izzy
Jean Smart is one of today's most decorated actresses. She's known for her tough-as-nails characters, especially in TV comedies, and in this new play she brings a similar tenacity and dark sense of humor that audiences have known her to cultivate over her decades-long career.
In Jamie Wax's startling new play, he transports audiences to a small town in rural America. It's the kind of place where if you stay long enough, you've seen it all, but also itch to get out. Smart is Izzy, a down-on-her-luck woman who needs a way out. Her writing may be that: but while it is her greatest gift, it is also her biggest secret and darkest curse. A can’t-miss theatrical event and a moving portrait of one woman’s refusal to be silenced through her own sheer resilience, humor, and fiery imagination, Call Me Izzy is a spellbinding show and offers a tour-de-force for Smart.
