Good to know.
I had heard this term a long time ago, come to think of it, but had forgot all about it. The play sounds VERY promising.
“Nance, or nancy boy, is disparaging slang for an effeminate or homosexual man, and nances were popular theatrical figures, akin to blackface performers, during the 1920s and ’30s.”
Here’s more where that came from! Sweet.

Again With the Comics: Hillbilly Comics!
Goldurn if’n thar weren’t a hillbilly craze back in the mid-1950’s, an’ goldurn if comics didn’t try to cash in like everyone else! As America emerged from World War II and entered the atomic age, a group of lovable, backwards, shabbily-dressed hill folk were left behind by a combination of poverty and geographic remoteness. Their feudin’ moonshine-drinkin’, cousin-marryin’ ways were pure comedy gold for the country’s burgeoning entertainment industry, and soon the movies, television, and yes, comics had hillbilly fever. For years, the American hillbilly provided his wealthier, more sophisticated countrymen with countless hours of joyful schadenfreude before the fad wore off, and they went back to just being poor people. Anyhow, bite off a chaw o’ tabaccy, have a sip o’ some of this hyar corn likker, dig inta some of maw’s possum pie, and enjoy some good old fashioned, down-home HILLBILLY COMICS:
We’re submersed in all things Hillbilly Chic in preperation for Steamtown Vaudeville’s next production A Razzle Dazzle Hootenanny at The Vintage Theater on Aug, 21. I want this comic so bad it huts!

The Patchwork Girl, also known as the Queen of Patch, here sports a haughty glower!
Such a sweet little documentary!
The sisters are on tour now, you know. This is one show you don’t want to miss!
This is a dream! Several of my favorite artists of the past few years all performing together in one night under one roof.
If I thought I could get out of Scranton to NYC to experience it, I’d say "pinch me."
