Nunsense is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining 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 – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.
The Theatre-Goers Book Club, originally named the Playscript Readers Group, was formed in 2015 as an extension of the Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre.
In addition to the primary focus of reading and analyzing plays, the additional
element of attending a live performance at a local theatre is a great way to share
insights and appreciate all dimensions of the theatre experience.
What a great way to celebrate and support our local theatres!
