Jean Smart and John Krasinski Go It Alone, on Broadway and Off
Briefly

The New York theatre scene this season has been dominated by A-list male stars engaged in limited runs, thanks to turbulence in film and television. As the season nears its end, two prominent figures, Jean Smart and John Krasinski, are set to address themes of misogyny in their upcoming plays. Smart will star in 'Call Me Izzy,' showcasing her comedic abilities, while Krasinski will explore the men's rights movement in 'Angry Alan.' These performances highlight a shift in narrative focus as the industry enjoys a star-studded but fleeting series of theatrical events.
"In the first scene of 'Call Me Izzy,' Smart stands in a cramped trailer bathroom, combining her comedic talent with a poignant story about dissatisfaction and identity."
"We're now in the lame-duck season: the last of these high-wattage engagements finishes in June, signaling a transition as stars head back to their summer retreats."
