Production Details
Smart People by Lydia Diamond
SYNOPSIS:
A seriously sexy modern-day comedy of manners.
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.

JACKSON MOORE - 28-year-old Black man, surgeon
