ity Theatre brings the nun-fun to Austin this summer!
What do you get when you combine“Greased Lighting” and the Catholic Church?? NUNSENSE, of course.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, NUNSENSE is the musical romp of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, who discover their cook, Sister Julia Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of their sisters and they are in dire need of funds for their burials. So, on the 8th grade set of Grease, they decide to put on a variety show complete with tap dancing, star turns, vaudeville acts, and show stopping numbers that are sure to get them into heaven and the audience on its feet.

Where: The City Theatre 3823 Airport Blvd. Suite D Austin, TX 78722
Time: March 16 and 17, 6:30 – 8:30, March 21, 10 – noon.

Cast of characters:
Reverend Mother Regina - a model Mother Superior, even if she is overweight. An outrageous, quick-witted soul and Sophie Tucker-type who tries to be strict, but knows how to get a laugh. Sister Mary Hubert – Mistress of the Novices, dignified, second in command, always competing with Reverend Mother and ready to kick up her heels
Sister Robert Anne – Reverend Mother’s nemesis, street wise with a heart of gold, and aching for the spotlight
Sister Mary Leo – a novice and ballerina wannabe, always eager to display her talent, and easily let astray
Sister Mary Amnesia – picture of innocence, a country singer who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head
