"Let Me Down Easy"
Off-Broadway star Anna Deveare Smith will perform a one-woman show February 22-27 in Columbus’ historic Lincoln Theatre. The performance dramatizes the power of the body, the cost of health care and the resilience of the human spirit, revealed through the stories of 20 real-life characters – from everyday citizens to celebrities. The stories offer perspectives on dealing with injury, illness and mortality.
On February 28, Smith also will engage in a Director’s Dialogue with Steven G. Gabbe, CEO of The Ohio State University Medical Center, and prominent legal scholar Patricia Williams about the process of creating the show, as well as discuss medical care in the United States. The event begins at 7 p.m. in OSU’s Mershon Auditorium.
