Who's Who
Nanci became a first time writer with her autobiographical solo show, “AND BABY MAKES TWO – an adoption tale”. ABMT ran for almost three months at the Santa Monica Playhouse in the fall of 2007. It was nominated for the prestigious 2009 SUSAN SMITH BLACKBURN PRIZE and was published by powerhouse SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. in November 2009. After doing a reading of ABMT in Paris, France (July 2008) at Theatre d’Aire Falguiere, a French translation was done with a French production planned starring Beatrice Agenin. Nanci dedicated ABMT to her beautiful son, Joshua Brandon Neidorf, and his selfless birth mother, Elizabeth Sample Zufelt. Throughout the run of the play and a benefit reading in November 2008 Nanci also raised over $15,000.00 for adoption charities and The American Liver Foundation. You can check out her ABMT website at: In addition, Nanci is currently an associate member of Pacific Resident Theatre (PRT) in Venice, CA., was a long time member of Theatre West, Los Angeles, CA. and was a Co-Founder of The Joint Theatre Company/CBS Radford. She was an invited guest at THE ACTOR’S THEATRE OF LOUISVILLE – HUMANA FESTIVAL and THE O’NEILL NATIONAL PLAYWRIGHT’S CONFERENCE in Connecticut. She is also a member of THE DRAMATISTS GUILD OF AMERICA.
Other things of interest…Nanci is a confirmed Francophile having lived in Paris, France for almost a year. She absolutely never turns down a French pastry of any kind…OH LA LA! She also was a competitive figure skater as a child/adolescent training with the great Frank Carroll (Linda Fratianne, Michelle Kwan, Evan Lysacek, Mirai Nagasu). After twenty years off the ice Nanci got back on and started competing again as an adult earning her Adult United States Figure Skating Gold Medal among many competition medals and trophies (Her favorite was winning the West Coast Adult Championships one year skating to Peggy Lee’s “Fever” – see photo).
Nanci’s proudest moments though are that of being Joshua’s mom…Joshua is her wonder boy, the magic in her life…
