SEPTEMBER 2008
*Sept. 12, 8:00 pm. Nunsense starring Sally Struthers, Civic Auditorium. Emmy Award and Global Globe winner Sally Struthers, best known for her role as “Gloria” in the TV series All in the Family, stars in this off-Broadway musical production of Nunsense. An international phenomenon and one of the funniest shows to ever hit the stage, the hilarious story goes like this: After one of the nuns, Sister Julia, Child of God, accidentally serves up a bad batch of vichyssoise, most of the Sisters of Hoboken, NJ convent die of botulism. The surviving sisters bury all but four of the nuns when they run out of money. The story takes a divinely comedic turn when the nuns “cook up” a clever, if not holy, scheme to raise money to bury their remaining four sisters. Bottom line – It’s heavenly fun!
