Excerpts from "Attack of the Killer What-Ifs" and "Oprah Meets Snow White"

These are work samples prepared for the Bush Artist Fellowship application. The first is a 23-minute excerpted version of my full-length show "Attack of the Killer What-Ifs" which debuted at the 2002 Minnesota Fringe Festival. There is then a much shorter excerpt from a traditional tale wrapped in a contemporary experience.

The Last Five Minutes

Nancy Donoval — Fri, 30 Jul 2004 01:21:43 GMT

This is one of the first autobiographical stories I crafted for performance. I've been telling it in one form or another since 1990 and it remains a cornerstone of my repertoire.
