SMART PEOPLE
By Lydia.R. Diamond

November 5-21 2021

Live Theatre Production at Celebration Arts

Sacramento CA.

Directed by J. Andrea Porras / yAyA Asst. Director L. Montez Madkins

“Smart People” by Lydia Diamond – It is the eve of Obama’s first election. Four of Harvard University’s brightest; a surgeon, an actress, a psychologist, and a neuro-psychiatrist, are all interested in different aspects of the brain, particularly how it responds to race. But like all smart people, they are also searching for love, success, and identity in their own lives. Lydia Diamond brings these characters together in this sharp, witty play about social and sexual politics.
