Nunsense Opens at Hudson Players on Friday! A Heaven-Sent Comic Blessing!
by Durbin, Mark H. 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hudson Players' Nunsense Opens Friday... a Heaven-Sent Comic Blessing! With an audience participation quiz, tap dancing nuns, ballet dancing nuns, a nun puppet, nun jokes galore and comic surprises at every turn, Hudson Players' Nunsense is a habit-forming answer to northeast Ohio theatregoers' prayers on how laughter can sooth the soul and help them get through this winter that will not end! Written by Dan Goggin, and Winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Off-Broadway Musical, Nunsense runs February 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 23 & 24. Showtime is 8:00 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on February 18. Tickets are available at www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com>, or by calling the Hudson Players box office at (330) 655-8522. Tickets are $14.00; $12.00 for students and seniors. Discounts also are available for groups of 10 or more. For all its wackiness, Nunsense has the ring of personal experience. Goggin, a former seminarian, was brought up in Roman Catholic schools. And unlike other playwrights who often satirized the darker side of a Catholic upbringing, Goggin had a thoroughly happy parochial school experience. "Many of the nuns who taught me were funny people -- I only recall one who was in any way severe," he said. "Every nun in the show is based on someone I knew growing up. Of all the people who attend the show, the greatest fans are priests and nuns." Nunsense begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth-grade production of "Grease." The audience meets Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer who can't resist the spotlight, played by Sharon Lloyd of Shaker Heights; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices who has her eyes on Mother Superior's job, played by Shelly Palumbo of Kent; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne, played by Carri Wagner of Akron; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who wants to be the first nun ballerina, played by Macey Staninger of Solon; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head, played by Jessica DeFrange of Kent. With songs such as "Nunsense is Habit Forming," "Tackle That Temptation with a Time Step," "So You Want to be a Nun," "Just a Couple of Sisters" and "Holier Than Thou," Nunsense gives each performer her own chance to shine. Nunsense is directed and choreographed by Chanda K. Porter of Akron who says she has "been blessed with a fabulously talented group of actresses who truly are the answer to a director's prayer." From her choreographer perspective, Porter also was attracted by the wide variety of dancing styles in Nunsense. "The dance routines in the show really help tell the story, especially the novice who wants to be a ballerina. And who doesn't want to see tap dancing nuns?!" The musical director for Nunsense is Dave Stebbins of Stow and is assisted by Ron Jones, also of Stow. The set designer for Nunsense is Wes Sigler of Akron, stage manager is Chris Macchione of Hudson and the producers are Trish Davis of Hudson and Sean Donovan of Akron. Lighting design is by T.L. Codella. Donovan says a theatre goer doesn't have to be catholic to enjoy the Nunsense experience. But if an audience member does have a catholic education background, including being taught by nuns at some point in their past, this show ends up being a trip down memory lane. To purchase tickets for Nunsense go to www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com>, or call the Hudson Players box office at (330) 655-8522 for more information.
