Black PRODUCER: Le Chat Noir Productions ABOUT THE NANNY PROJECT Led by the Sankofa Sol Arts Inquiry Collective (SSAIC), The Nanny Project is an integrated arts-based inquiry project highlighting the lived experiences of diverse nannies employed during the pandemic years 2020-2023. Through the development of a diverse array of outputs, including but not limited to a verbatim theater play script, The Nanny Project seeks to elevate the essential work of nannies into public consciousness. The first reading of the prize-winning one-act piece at the American Folklore Society Meeting on November 8th, 2024 was met with success, highlighted in the feedback from the audience. Session participants emphasized the emotional and intellectual impact of the work, praising it as “beautiful” and “fabulous work.” The story’s exploration of themes like love, exploitation, sacrifice, and the lived experiences of women of color caregivers captivated listeners, with 100% of responses rating it as "extremely engaging’ on our feedback form. Many were moved by the representation of caregivers’ struggles for dignity and self-worth, particularly emphasizing the need to hear and advocate for these often-overlooked voices. ABOUT THE PLAY In a series of poignant verbatim reflections pulled directly from three interviews conducted by SSAIC from 2019-2023, You Can't Over Love Anything explores the complexities of caregiving, offering an unflinching look inside one of the most unregulated jobs in the nation: Nannying. *Monologue heavy CHARACTERS WOMAN 1: Black/30s (ROLE FILLED) WOMAN 2: Indian or Southeast Asian presenting/40s WOMAN 3: White/40s (ROLE FILLED) AUDITIONS You may request sides by emailing courtney@courtneylblack.
