Bio

Nancy McArthur is an actor, singer-songwriter and teaching artist based in New York City. She was born in Washington D.C., raised overseas in Europe and Southeast Asia, and spent most childhood summers in a small West Virginia town by the Potomac river.

On stage, she’s starred in a wild variety of experimental works under the direction of Danya Taymor, Ping Chong, and O-Lan Jones to name some names. And on screen she’s had the privilege of working with the likes of Rachel Morrison and Spike Lee.

Nancy’s music might best be described as alternative-folk-with-dad-jokes. Her debut album I Would I Were Thy Bird was released this past winter to a sold-out show at Brooklyn Music Kitchen.

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