The Little Sisters of Hoboken are back! After Wyong Drama Group’s sell-out season of Nunsense in 2018, the Nuns are returning to perform a follow-up season at the Red Tree Theatre, Tuggerah.
Nunsense 2 – The Second Coming takes place six weeks after the sisters have staged their first benefit.
The sisters are back presenting a “thank-you” show for all the people who supported them in the past, but now they’re a bit slicker, having been “bitten by the theatre bug.”
Things get off to a rousing start, but before long chaos erupts.
Two Franciscans come to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (who has won the Publishers’ Clearing House Sweepstakes) as one of their own.
At the same time the nuns hear that a talent scout is in the audience to see them strut their stuff.
Directed by Margaret Holdom, with Musical Direction by Maryellen Gillard and Choreography by Madeline Stephenson, this show is a joyful and funny look at life in the Convent.
The book, music and lyrics are by Dan Goggin, and it is an amateur production performed by arrangement with Origin Theatrical on behalf of Tams-Wittmark LLC, A Concord Theatricals Company.
Popular performers Ruth Jordon and Cathy De Vries head up the cast that also includes well-known Central Coast performers Amanda Daniel, Karen Pendleton, Gabbie Magee and Maddie Stephenson.
2022 marks the 70th birthday for Wyong Drama Group and Nunsense 2 is a big part of the celebration.
The season runs from 16-30 April, with 10 performances. Bookings open 7 March. www.wyongdramagroup.com.au for details on how to book.
