Players Club Of Swarthmore Presents SISTER ACT

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier (Jasmine Bryant, Upper Darby) witnesses a murder, she is placed in protective custody in a convent, disguised as a nun. She finds herself at odds with the rigid uptight Mother Superior (Deidre McGettigan Henry, West Chester). Using her fabulous disco-ness and killer voice Deloris inspires the choir, breathing new life into the church and the community, much to the delight of the Monignor O'Hara (Paul Kerrigan, Prospect Park). Her popularity blows her cover however, resulting in some nun on the run mayhem. Sister Act is filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story. Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
