In the 1990′s, she helped to found two cutting-edge theatre companies that are still going strong today: Strawdog Theatre and Theater Oobleck. In the early 90’s, Black Box Theater lured Nancy to Prague after the fall o the Iron Curtain, where she produced and directed a number of plays, and launched touring productions throughout Europe.
