Let Me Down Easy
Smith, through her chameleon-like virtuosity, creates an indelible gallery of portraits
Let Me Down Easy Great Performances

Conceived, written, and performed by Smith in her signature one person performance style, the play examines the miracle of human resilience through the lens of our current national debate on health care. To create Let Me Down Easy Smith interviewed an eclectic group of people (300 on three continents) and performs several in an evening that is funny, moving and engaging.
