Sister Act at Players Guild of Dearborn

Nightclub singer Deloris Van Cartier’s world comes crashing down around her when
she witnesses her mobster boyfriend, Curtis Jackson, murder an associate. After reporting the
crime to the police, Deloris is quickly shuffled into witness protection at a nearby convent. Cut
off from the outside world and under the watchful eye of the convent’s uptight Mother Superior,
Deloris soon finds herself joining the ranks of the convent’s choir. The religious musical
ensemble is quite lackluster, but Deloris uses her talents to shape them up and they eventually
become a sensation What follows is a madcap whirlwind full of action, thrills, romance… and
the Pope! Based on the 1992 Whoopi Goldberg vehicle of the same name, Sister Act takes all the
fun of its onscreen counterpart and dials it up to 11 to create the glitziest story involving nuns the world has ever known. There’s truly something for everyone in this musical extravaganza.
