Nunsense: A Musical Comedy

Nunsense: A Musical Comedy is a comic musical about the surviving Little Sisters of Hoboken, whose convent is thrown into chaos after their cook accidentally poisons the other nuns with contaminated vichyssoise while the sisters are away at bingo. When the convent’s funds run out before all the burials can be completed, the nuns mount a variety show to raise money.

The performance features solo numbers, comedic dances, and an audience quiz, blending theatrical spectacle with irreverent situations and plenty of laughs. The production is presented in partnership with Damascus Theatre Company.
