“Nunsense” opens in Hartsville
The Hartsville Community Players will present “Nunsense” at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Center Theater in Hartsville.
“Nunsense” is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert. They are the only survivors at the Little Sisters of Hoboken nunnery, the rest of the sisterhood having succumbed to botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia, Child of God. The remaining “Little Hobos” parade their talents at a variety show staged to raise funds so that the last four of the dearly departed can be buried. The score pulses with merriment and an unabashed desire to make you laugh, with songs and spontaneous comic interludes paced at break-neck speed. NUN rhymes with FUN!
“Nunsense” was written by Dan Goggin, and directed by Elayne Mahn.
Cast: Tiffany Moan as Mother Superior; Deirdre Batemen as Sister Hubert; Rachel Moree as Sister Robert Anne; Terri Brown as Sister Leo; and Traci Skaris as Sister Amnesia.
