BWW Invite: Attend SAG Foundation Career Conversations Screening of LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER: THE NANCE with Nathan Lane

Screen Actors Guild Foundation and BroadwayWorld.com have partnered for a filmed Conversations Q&A series to recognize and celebrate the vibrant theatre community in New York City and the actors who aspire to have a career on the stage and screen. On June 10 (6PM) please join us for a Conversations screening of LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER: THE NANCE, Q&A with Nathan Lane?. Moderated by BroadwayWorld.com's Richard Ridge, the event will take place at The New School - Tishman Auditorium (63 Fifth Ave).

Live From Lincoln Center is the pioneering, award-winning performing arts series showcasing the best of the wide-ranging programming from the 30 iconic stages of the world's largest performing arts center.

In Live From Lincoln Center: The Nance, Douglas Carter Beane's acclaimed drama The Nance, produced by Lincoln Center Theater, stars stage and screen actor Nathan Lane. The play tells the story of Chauncey Miles (Lane), a headline nance (a parody of a gay man) in the twilight of New York burlesque's era, who is homosexual. Integrating burlesque sketches into his drama, Beane paints the portrait of a homosexual man, living and working in the secretive and dangerous gay world of 1930s New York, whose outrageous antics on the burlesque stage stand in marked contrast to his offstage life.

The New York Daily News called the play "refreshingly original" and USA Today praised Lane's standout performance "as heartbreaking as he is hilarious." The Nance is directed for the stage by celebrated Broadway veteran Jack O'Brien. Rounding out the cast is Jenni Barber, Andréa Burns, Cady Huffman, Mylinda Hull, Geoffrey Allen Murphy, Jonny Orsini and Lewis J. Stadlen.

The production was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Actor - Nathan Lane, and two Drama Desk Awards (Outstanding Actor in a Play - Nathan Lane and Outstanding Music in a Play - Glen Kelly). The Nance won two Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Play - Nathan Lane, and Outstanding Director of a Play - Jack O'Brien, and Nathan Lane won the 2013 Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance of the Season. The Nance is directed for the screen by Matthew Diamond.
