THE NANCE
MAY 16 - JUNE 7
Written by DOUGLAS CARTER BEANE
Directed by ALAN DEMOVSKY
Chauncey Miles plays a “nance,” a stock character in Prohibition-era vaudeville that portrayed a gay man as an effeminate caricature. As Chauncey struggles to claim his identity and find acceptance, the boisterous burlesque performances featured in this period drama provide a sharp contrast to the real-world prejudice and censorship that ultimately brought the burlesque era to an end.
