‘Nunsense’ guaranteed to make you laugh

Four frozen nuns awaiting burial in the freezer at the convent

force five sisters to put on a fund-raiser show.

Knock’em Dead Dinner Theatre presents Dan Goggin’s

Nunsense, a hilarious musical directed by Scott Beseman.

After fifty-two sisters were poisoned after eating Chinese soup

made by another sister, only forty-eight could be buried because

Sister Mary Regina, the head nun (Bea Eichmann Allen), used the

last of the funds to buy a VCR.

The absurdity is part of the humor and is pointed out several

times throughout the show by Sister Mary Hubert, played by Leta

Neustaedter.

The humor combines the style of Dana Carvey’s character,

church lady, on past episodes of Saturday Night Live, and the

attitude and humor of Whoopi Goldberg in the film Sister Act.

Sister Robert Anne, played by Michelle Casella-Bass, is the most

flamboyant with her Brooklyn accent and daring sense of humor.

Nunsense will be playing through May 10. It starts at 7 p.m. on

Thursdays with no dinner. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. on Fridays

and Saturdays with a show at 8 p.m.

The theater is located on the corner of 9th and Borah

streets.

Tickets are $15.50 for adults and $12.50 for students on

Thursdays.

Tickets are $34.50 each including dinner and $17.50 each without

dinner on Fridays and Saturdays.

Students can purchase tickets for the show only at half price

when they show up ten minutes before the performance if seats are

still available.
