In Nancy, a trans agoraphobe strikes up an online correspondence with a Mephistophelean figure named Jack, who promises to rebuild them in his image, before forces both mundane and divine intervene - including a blank verse-speaking Joan of Arc, a neighbor who won't stop watching Heat (1995), and an archangel with a thousand hands.

The cast includes playwright Sean Swenson, Gabs Ethridge, and Sam Grace Lane , with a special appearance by Matthew Antoci and more performers to be announced soon.

The creative team is made up of Swenson, director Em Hausmann , stage manager Cori Diaz , lighting designer Whimzee Lee Hanna, music and sound designer Mav Leslie, press agent Sarah Jae Leiber, and poster artist Lou Barcott.

Nancy comes with a content warning for violence, sex, and gender trouble.
