Nunsense: A Musical Comedy

Nunsense: A Musical Comedy follows five surviving Little Sisters of Hoboken as they try to raise money to bury four deceased nuns who remain in the convent freezer. After Sister Julia accidentally poisons much of the convent with tainted vichyssoise while the sisters are away at bingo, the Mother Superior receives a vision directing her to launch a greeting-card business. Although the cards sell successfully, the extra money is spent on a VCR and camcorder instead of the burials.

The sisters therefore stage a variety show at Mount Saint Helen’s School, complete with solo performances, comedic dance numbers, and a quiz involving the audience. The production is presented in partnership with Damascus Theatre Company.
