Production of Nunsense

 

Have YOU seen Nunsense yet? You've got three more chances!

The Little Sisters of Hoboken have discovered that their cook, Sister Julia, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters have decided that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, and turned to Plymouth Community Theatre for assistance. Of course, we were happy to help! Please join us, the Reverend Mother Regina, Sister Mary Hubert, Sister Robert Anne, Sister Mary Leo, and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia for an evening of star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises! Directed by Maura Buckley Troiano, with music direction by Nancy Sparklin, Nunsense is guaranteed to rock the Spire with laughter.

The cast of Nunsense includes talented actors from across southeastern Massachusetts, including Rachael Bonetti, Laurie Grant Coleman, Paulie Devlin, Rachel Leverone, Brian Kenerson, Jose Merlo, Connie Panselinas, Marian Woodward, and Judy Yancey. More information is available on our website at www.plymouthcommunitytheatre.net!
