“I can’t believe I’m outing myself with this one, but damn if this wasn’t the best guilty pleasure of the pandemic. I’m telling you,
Elite came to play: maybe it was vicariously traipsing through Spain in the summer or soaking up the gorgeous interiors of the Spanish upper class, or perhaps it was the surprisingly solid acting and murderous plot intrigue that kept me coming back for three seasons. Oh, and it’s raunchy AF.”

That’s something different.
“Part of me was very nervous (about) sharing some personal stories,” said Nance, whose cabaret, Voice of a Preacher’s Son, premieres on the Festival’s YouTube channel Thursday. “But … because of COVID, because of being locked up in my home, because of observing all of the Black Lives Matter (protests) and the political landscape in the U.S., I was – I am – still very emotional abou
