THE NANCE at Middletown Lyric Theatre Runs June 26-28

THE NANCE
Middletown Lyric Theatre
June 26-28
Sorg Opera House [Middletown]

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Bill Brewer as Chauncey Miles,  Brock Bornhorst as Ned,  Steve Deckman as Efram, Charmien Byrd as Sylvie, Jocelyn Wright as Carmen,  Zella Younce as Joan &  Heather Adams as Rose

A bold, heartfelt comedy/drama set in 1930s New York, where burlesque and politics collide. At its center is Chauncey Miles, a witty performer who plays the flamboyant “Nance” caricature onstage, an outrageous stereotype of a gay man, while secretly living as one in a world that refuses to accept him. As Mayor LaGuardia cracks down on “indecency” in entertainment, Chauncey grapples with the rising tide of censorship, the costs of hiding his true self, and a surprising romance that threatens his carefully constructed facade. A sharp blend of comedy, tragedy, music and showbiz sparkle, The Nance explores identity, repression, and the fight for dignity with unflinching honesty. This play deals with mature themes, gay & political issues and suggestive humor of the era. Recommended for 16+.
