On Stage!

A change of habit, boy oh, boy! When Sister Julia accidentally poisons 52 sisters with her soup, problems unfold. The nuns funds aren't enough to cover such huge burial costs, so the sisters get creative and organize a talent show fundraiser to earn the money. Based on the original Nunsense show, these "sisters" are "brothers" with all of the nuns being portrayed by male performers. Think of it as "Mrs. Doubt re enters the convent." For heaven sakes, don't miss this one!
