As a part of the Visiting Writers Series, actress, playwright, teacher, and author, Anna Deavere Smith, will visit the OCC campus virtually on Nov. 5 and live on April 1.
According to her website, Anna Deavere Smith “looks at contemporary issues from multiple viewpoints and combines the journalistic technique of interviewing her subjects with the art of interpreting their words through performance.” Among the topics she addresses in her presentations are the vulnerability of youth, inequality, the criminal justice system, and contemporary activism.
