After last season's the hit production of NUNSENSE in October 2008, the Sisters return to the stage - this time in a flashy, fun Vegas-style musical! NUNSENSATIONS! takes the sisters on a brand new adventure when a parishioner volunteers to donate $10,000 to the sisters' school if they will perform in a club in Las Vegas. Mother Superior, once again played by Claire Conti, is hesistant to accept; however, after being convinced by the other sisters that "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" she agrees. What follows is the most feather-filled, sequin-studded, fan dancing NUNSENSE show ever!

Joining Conti in the "habit" is Brittney James as the no-nonsense Sister Hubert, Katie Coplen as Sister Mary Leo, the young nun who loves to dance, Melinda Falgoust reprises her role as the fun-loving Sister Robert-Anne and Anna Toujas Rosenberg returns again as Sister Mary Paul/formerly Sister Mary Amnesia with her brassy puppet side-kick Sister Mary Annette. An evening of stuffy, high drama, this certainly is not! An evening of fluff, fun and heaven-help us is in store!
