Jamie Wax’s CALL ME IZZY features the multi-award-winning Jean Smart as the tough, abused but resilient, and amazingly optimistic Izzy. Izzy occupies a trailer with her husband in Louisiana, and the year is 1989. Ms. Smart commands the stage at all times. Not even a broken knee can hamper her sublime performance. It is exhilarating to watch Izzy come out of her shell, confront her nemesis, gain her confidence, and become the woman she was meant to be. CALL ME IZZY is so impressive that you will want to call Izzy your life-time friend.
