Bio



Nancy McArthur is an actor, singer-songwriter and teaching artist based in New York City. She was born in Washington D.C. and raised between West Virginia, Europe and Southeast Asia.

Nancy has performed at venues such as LaMama, New York Theatre Workshop Next Door, LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, the Brick and the New Ohio. Her one-woman show Shenandoah has been produced locally and internationally, at the Prague Fringe Festival, where it won the Fringey Award for “making audiences fall in love with America again”.

When she isn’t gigging at a local bar or steadily infiltrating the world of Film and TV, you might find Nancy feeding a donkey, teaching at a Public School, or singing to a Poet Laureate in Nebraska. 

Nancy holds a BFA in Drama from Tisch School of the Arts’ Experimental Theatre Wing and Stonestreet Studios.
