Nancy Giles, a comedian, actress and contributor to "CBS Sunday Morning," will appear Aug. 27
at 8 p.m. in Kobacker Hall of the Moore Musical Arts Center on the Bowling Green State University
campus.
"An Evening with Nancy Giles" is being presented by the College of Musical Arts as part of the
Hansen Musical Arts Series and in conjunction with BGSU Welcome Week.
The free
event is supported by Dorothy E. and DuWayne Hansen, alumni and friends of the College of Musical Arts
and BGSU.
Giles’
residency
will also include visits with students in music, theatre and the campus Arts Village.
On the Peabody Award-winning "CBS Sunday Morning," Giles voices her opinions on a number of
topics, from politics and race to plus-sized women and even Janet Jackson’s infamous "wardrobe
malfunction."
As an actress, she has appeared in a variety of movies-Clint Eastwood’s "True Crime" and Penny
Marshall’s "Big" among them-along with TV shows such as "Law and Order," "Spin
City" and the Emmy Award-winning drama "China Beach." She has also appeared in theater
roles in New York and Chicago and, as a comedian, was a member of the Second City cast and performs on
the stand-up circuit.
Giles is currently working on a book based on her stand-up material, essays and her life experiences.
Established in 1996, the Dorothy E. and DuWayne Hansen Musical Arts Series Fund brings representatives of
the musical and creative arts to Bowling Green to share their talent and knowledge with students and
community residents. DuWayne Hansen is also a former chair of the music education department in the
College of Musical Arts.
Giles’ appearance is the seventh in the Hansen series, which began with a visit by Sesame Street’s Bob
McGrath in 2003.
