Nancy Kenny

A proud Acadian originally from New Brunswick, Nancy Kenny is a fluently bilingual (French/English) actor, writer, theatre and film producer, who splits her time between Kjipuktuk/Halifax and Tkaronto/Toronto. She is best known for the award-winning, critically acclaimed plays, Roller Derby Saved My Soul (Canadian Comedy Award nominee – Best One Person Show), and Everybody Dies in December (Best Drama – Halifax Fringe). Currently, she is working on I Don’t Feel Pretty/Chu pas cute, an absurdist dark comedy set in the fractured mind of an alcoholic on a bender. TV writing credits include En résidence and Garde partagée for UnisTV, and L’histoire sans faim for TFO. Through her company, Broken Turtle Productions, Nancy’s focus is stories that explore the role of women, marginalized genders, and 2SLGBTQ+ people in society. She is particularly interested in new and multilingual works, as well as works that explore our humanity with a darkly comedic bent.
