The Nance by Douglas Carter Beane, Directed by Ted Thompson
Can two gay burlesque comics find happiness in the conservative world of 1930’s New York?
This critically acclaimed stage drama delves into the life of Chauncey Miles, a gay burlesque comic in 1937 New York. Full of comedic burlesque performances, the equally raucous and poignant show — hailed as “a bold, brave play” by “Backstage” — contrasts Mills’ acceptance for his hilarious onstage antics as “the nance,” a stereo-typically effeminate homosexual character, with his difficult existence offstage as an aging man looking for love and acceptance.
Tickets: $20 - Seniors: $18
Reservations: Call (718) 237-2752 or email hpreservations@gmail.com
