Sudbury Resident Stars in Woodland Theatre Company’s Production of Nunsense

Sudbury resident Gillian Gordon will appear as Sister Leo in Woodland Theatre Company’s hysterical musical comedy production of Nunsense. Performances are June 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. and June 4 and 5 at 1 p.m., at the Sherborn Community Center.

Gillian attends Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and will be graduating later this year. She received the Atkinson Scholarship and will be attending Suffolk University in Boston next fall.  Gillian’s theatrical roles include: Emily Bates (“Donnie Darko”), Star-to-Be (“Annie”), Pearl understudy (“Little Mermaid”), Helen (“A Christmas Story”), Lousie Bigelow (“Carousel”), as well as appearing in Peter Pan, The Little Princess, The Phantom Tollbooth, Pippi Longstocking, Music Man, No No Nanette, and Mame.  

In 2010, Gillian received the EMACT DASH Award for Best Youth Performer for her role as Emily Webb in Our Town. Gillian currently teaches a musical theatre class at The Performing Arts Connection. Nunsense marks Gillian’s debut on the Woodland Theatre Company stage. 

With book music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, Nunsense follows the antics of “The Little Sisters of Hoboken” who are in a jam. Due to a botched recipe from their cook, some 52 nuns have suddenly gone on to their heavenly reward. With hilarious songs, madcap dance routines, and comic surprises, she and four of her fellow nuns prove that laughter is truly the best medicine.
