the University Theatre will also call on
audience members to help Smith
with his recovery.
Senior Moriah Shanahan, who act
ed in a play with Smith before his ac
cident, said she is happy to have the
opportunity to help her friend, who
she calls a "pure-hearted person."
"He's one of the kindest, mellow,
sweet persons you'd ever meet," she
said. "When you can help out a fellow
actor, a fellow friend when something
so crazy happens, then everybody
wants to do it."
Theatre arts Assistant Professor
John Schmor, who is a close friend of
Smith's and of his family, said his for
mer student has made "amazing
progress" considering that the med
ical world once held no hope for
quadriplegics.
"For Noah, the recovery's been as
tonishing," he said. "It used to be not
too long ago that that would be that."
Smith often experiences neurologi
cal muscle spasms in his legs, which is
considered good news because it
means future controlled movement is
possible, Schmor said. Keeping Smith's
spirits up has been one of the hardest
obstacles family and friends have had
to face since the accident, he added.
"It's just very, very hard to push
your body like that and not give up,"
he said.
Smith said he takes his recovery a
day at a time and added that seeming
ly little things such as washing dishes
or doing the laundry provide some of
the toughest challenges.
"A lot of it right now is trying to sur
vive," he said.
Smith said he still thinks often
about his life before the accident, but
for now, his other dreams have been
put on hold.
"I think a lot and dream about the
future, but I'm not going in a certain
direction other than trying to walk
again," he said.
