By Chuck Bingaman, Contributing Writer
“Nunsense II” the hilarious, madcap Broadway show featuring lots of laughs, song and dance and the flimsiest of plots bursts forth at Fall Mountain Regional High School in Langdon Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. with all tickets available at the door.
“It’s just a LOT of fun with witty lines, terrific songs, and hilarity that will appeal to the whole family”, according to Music Director Walt Sayre.
Written by Dan Goggin and first appearing on Broadway in New York City in 1993, “Nunsense II” follows the highjinks of a group of nuns—the Little Sisters of Hoboken—who are preparing a variety show to thank contributors to the costs of burying other sisters that were killed in a food poisoning incident. An element of concern is present when rumors surface that a group of evil Franciscan are coming to seek revenge!
“The cast includes some of the most talented students in the school,” according to Sayre, “and I tell them that this is the hardest type of performance they will every have to give on a stage. They have to act, sing, and dance all at the same time with smiles on their faces!”
The nuns are led by Mother Superior Sister Mary Regina (Rebecca Holtz). Sister Mary Hubert (Mariah Kranowski) plays her second in command. Other cast members are Emily Ranauro, Jen Davey, Allison Stoddard Gruber, Lindsay Sanchez-Navarro, Ciara Monty, Danielle Rios, Alex Waters, Alison Livengood, William Carmody, Robert Habets, and Melissa Jellie.
Sayre also mentioned volunteer Dawn Pacquin and her staff made all of the nuns’ veils and can-can skirts, art teacher Ernie Perry and his students made all of the oriental artwork, and Alison Livengood headed the set construction crew.
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students. Seating is first come, first served.
