Anna Deavere Smith took this town by storm with Twilight: Los Angeles, after the 1992 riots, interviewing characters, including public figures and private citizens, and then personifying them word-for-word in a one-woman stage performance. She's an accomplished actress, with credits in film and TV, a professor at New York University and a recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant. Starting Friday, she's back for two weeks, this time at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica in another one-woman performance, Let Me Down Easy.
