YES! THE NUNS ARE BACK (by popular demand)! *NUNSENSATIONS! THE NUNSENSE VEGAS REVUE, *by Dan Goggin and directed by Dave Stacko, takes the sisters on a brand new adventure. A parishioner volunteers to donate $10,000 to the sisters’ school if they will perform in a club in Las Vegas, Mother Superior (Pat Stein) is hesitant to accept. However, convinced by the other sisters (Becky Linder, Emmalea Linder, Kristina Rivera and Debra Rose) that “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” Reverend Mother agrees. What follows is the most feather-filled, sequin-studded, fan dancing Nunsense show ever! Performing in The Pump Room at the Mystique Motor Lodge, the sisters experience show-biz like never before. “It’s a whole lot funny and a little bit naughty, but there ain’t nothin’ dirty goin’ on!” Performance dates are September 25, 26; October 2, 3 at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees on September 27 and October 4 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15.
