Novato Theater Company presents\u00a0Nunsense<\/em>\u00a0on stage now through October 6.<\/p>\n

Dan Goggins’ book, music and lyrics come to life thanks to a stellar cast, excellent direction by Lisa Morse and spectacular choreography by Marilyn Izdebski.<\/p>\n

You won’t want to miss this hilarious musical comedy, which also features fine musical direction by Nick Brown and a lovely live band.<\/p>\n

The play is set in a Catholic middle-school auditorium where five nuns from the Little Sisters of Hoboken are planning to raise funds by putting on a variety show.<\/p>\n

As Act One begins they introduce themselves with the song “Nunsense Is Habit Forming.” Eight entertaining numbers follow showcasing the cast’s incredible range and energy.\u00a0 Their acting, singing and dancing is a joy to behold, thanks to Nicole Thordsen (Sister Amnesia) Lauren Sutton-Beattie (Sister Leo), Kristine Ann Lowry (Sister Hubert), Tina Smith (Sister Robert Anne) and Jane Harrington (Sister Regina).<\/p>\n

Stand out performances include Thordsen’s hilarious rendition of “So You Want To Be A Nun” sung with a foul-mouthed nun-puppet named Sister Mary Annette.<\/p>\n

Another highlight is when the company dons tap shoes for a rousing dance number “Tackle That Temptation.”<\/p>\n

Act Two features nine fabulous songs including \u201cThe Drive In\u201d (Thordsen, Smith and Sutton-Beattie),and Lowry performing “Holier Than Thou.”<\/p>\n

Congratulations also to Tom O’Brien\/Set Design, Adrianna Gutierrez\/Costumes and the entire production team for creating such a memorable and enjoyable show.<\/p>\n

Coming up next at Novato Theater Company is Noel Coward’s\u00a0Present Laughter<\/em>, directed by Carl Jordan, January 24-February 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
