Take a trip to small-town Louisiana at Call Me Izzy on Broadway: In Wax's premiere, Izzy lives in rural America and is looking to write her way out. However, her writing is her biggest secret, greatest gift — and darkest curse as far as her abusive husband is concerned. The play offers Smart a singular vehicle and audiences a can’t-miss theatrical event. A moving portrait of one woman’s refusal to be silenced, Call Me Izzy shows a character whose sheer tenacity, humor, and fiery imagination will get her to a new stage of life, one way or another, no matter the consequences.

Smart is one of TV's most iconic actresses, winning six Primetime Emmy Awards over her decades-spanning career that includes multiple hit shows — dramas and comedies — that include Designing Women, Hacks, Mare of Easttown, Frasier, Samantha Who?, Kim Possible, and many others.

Wax makes his Broadway debut with this fierce new play, directed by Sarna Lapine, who staged the starry revival of Sunday in the Park with George with Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford.

Now, she returns to Broadway in this riveting and revealing portrait of a woman desperate for new life. How far will she go to take hold of her life?
