WHO: Nancy Beverly

WHAT: Sister From Another Planet

WHERE: Zephyr Theatre , 7456 Melrose Avenue

WHY: This show is a combination of humor, wit and charm.  At its core, it is about self-discovery.  What starts as a love for books and a series of nudges from the universe leads Nancy Beverly on a personal journey toward finding her true identity.  Is Nancy a boy or a girl?  It’s a question she is asked as a child and it’s one that stays with her until a spiritual awakening brings her to the answers she seeks. Every moment of this solo play is a precious, well crafted masterpiece, which is not surprising because Nancy Beverly is an accomplished writer.  But, there’s also the added layer of warmth and vulnerability in her performance that adds so much heart to the piece. The tone of the play is lighthearted and sweet and the performance is thoroughly engaging.
