Nunsense

Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center
33606 North 60 Street Scottsdale

Dancing nuns, singing nuns, circus nuns -- they're all a part of the glorious madness in Dan Goggin's wildly funny musical phenom Nunsense, presented in a lively new production at the Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center in Phoenix. The Little Sisters of Hoboken have suffered a disaster of biblical proportions. Their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The remaining nuns -- ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, Mother Superior Sister Regina and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert -- decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show. Their chaotic version of a variety show features crazy dance routines, solo star turns, an audience quiz and a whole bunch of comic surprises.
