Anna Deavere Smith is an actress, playwright, and professor at Stanford University, who recently won a MacArthur Foundation award. She has written and performed one-woman shows as part of the series, On the Road: A Search for American Character. One of her performances focuses on black-Jewish tensions in Brooklyn, "Fires in the Mirror," and another on the riots in South-Central Los Angeles, "Twilight, Los Angeles: 1992." She will perform this second one during the 1997 OAH Annual Meeting. Recently Ms. Smith began examining the relationship between the press and the President and is developing another show in her series which will premiere at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 1997.
