NANCY HOLSON (Creator/Writer/Co-Director)  In 1992, Nancy began her THE NEWS IN REVUE career by producing the show Off–Broadway. The show ran in New York during the election season and has subsequently run in various cities throughout the country.  The show has won five Emmy Awards for its series of PBS specials, two of which were for Nancy’s writing. Nancy has written and produced numerous shows for corporate, political and non-profit clients across the country.  Her work has been performed for one former president, several assorted senators, and a host of as-of-yet-unindicted politicians.  Most recently, she created a musical tribute to Vic Damone and produced the soundtrack for the comic relief portion of the safe driving video shown at traffic school (you can only see the video if you get enough moving violations to go to traffic court!). Currently, Nancy and her partners are developing S.P.L.A.S.H., a new children’s show for Public Television.
