A very last minute addition to the Hamilton Fringe Festival line-up, Nancy Kenny’s hilarious one-woman show, Roller Derby Saved My Soul, is sure to charm and delight.
About the play: Amy is a directionless woman just turned 30, still watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns in her basement apartment and living in the shadow of her more successful younger sister.
