Needham Community Theatre Presents 'Nunsense'

Needham Community Theatre will present its fall production, "Nunsense," on Nov. 18-20 and Nov. 26-27 at the Presybterian Church, 1458 Great Plain Ave.

Below is a synopsis of the play from www.needhamtheatre.org:

"Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, so it’s up to the survivors to raise funds for their burials by putting on a variety show in the school auditorium. Enter the performing Sisters:  Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice and wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.  

Join the Sisters for singing, dancing, an audience quiz and lots of comic surprises, and see why "Nunsense" is the second-longest running off-Broadway show in history."

The local production stars Kathleen Bousquet as Sister Robert Ann, Katie Broach as Sister Amnesia, Cathy Corcoran as Reverend Mother, Cathy Merlo as Sister Hubert and Katharine Nedder as Sister Leo.
