Iconic musical comedy coming to local stage in March

Sun City Players Community Theater is bringing a troupe of traveling nuns to town to entertain with lovable characters, songs, dance, jokes and even a fan dance.

Don Goggins’ well-known musical comedy "Nunsense" is being presented by the 54-year-old community theater in Sun City and shown at the Mountain View Center, 9749 N. 107th Ave.

In the iconic story, the poor nuns have put together a benefit show to raise funds to help bury four dead nuns who unfortunately suffered from botulism inflicted upon them by Sister Julia Child of God’s potato soup.

"Nunsense" was one of off-Broadway’s biggest commercial successes, with a total of 3,672 performances.

The local show, directed by Dan See, assisted by Annette See, produced by Herb Hyland, with musical direction by Linda Shirck and choreography by Denise Drechsler, opens March 9 and continues through March 18. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at suncityplayerscommunitytheater.org. Group sales of 10 or more tickets are available at a reduced rate by contacting Laura Kuchler at suncityplayersboxoffice@gmail.com.

The cast of heavenly sisters is comprised of Patty Mason as the Reverend Mother, Nancy Rasmussen as Sister Hubert, Sandi Stanton as Sister Robert Anne, Marilyn LeClair as Sister Amnesia and Celeste Hyland as Sister Leo. Rehearsals are currently under way.
