Plot Synopsis From The Racine Theatre Guild:

Deloris Van Cartier goes from a sultry lounge singer to becoming Sister Mary Clarence and singing with the nuns in a grooving church choir in “Sister Act.” Forced to hide out in a convent, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she rediscovers her own. Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing, and a truly moving story, it will leave audiences breathless.

Curtis (Bob Benson) and his cronies (Patrick Schneider, Malcolm Jae O’Shea, Paul Marquez) will try to give her trouble, but not if Eddie (Norgie Metzinger), the cop, can help it.
