Clancy to Star in Acclaimed Play

Local playwright, theater director and actor John Clancy will star in a production of the stage version of Judgment at Nuremberg, the 1961 Academy-award winning film starring Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark and Marlene Dietrich this January at the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre in Kansas City, MO. 

Clancy is slated to play Judge Dan Haywood, the Spencer Tracy role in the film.

The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre (MET) has created and maintained a reputation for presenting both ambitious and high-quality productions over the last twenty years including The Kentucky Cycle, The Iceman Cometh and the American premiere of The Shawshank Redemption. Judgment at Nuremberg continues this tradition and will be directed by MET's Producing Artistic Director Karen Paisley.

Clancy is an OBIE-award winning director and an internationally produced playwright and the President of Little Pharaoh Enterprises, a Mount Carmel based arts consultancy firm. He was last seen on the MET stage in the role of Larry Slade in January 2023's production of Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh".

Judgment at Nuremberg plays January 11th-21st, 2024 at the Warwick Theater, 3927 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64111. For tickets go to www.warwickkc.org or call (816)569-3226.
