ABOUT THE PLAY
Philadelphia Christmas 1970. When disco diva wannabe Deloris Van Cartier sees her
gangster boyfriend Curtis Jackson commit a murder at the grungy club where she’s
performing, she reports the crime to the police and is placed in the witness protection
program.
Disguised as a nun named Sister Mary Clarence, she is placed in the convent of the Holy Order of the Little Sisters of Our Mother of Perpetual Faith, where she finds herself up
against the rigid Mother Superior.
Deloris uses her singing talent to inspire the other nuns to create a more contemporary
choir, and they become the hit of the community. Word of their success reaches Curtis and his mob, who arrive on the scene to settle their score with Deloris and find them- selves battling not only her, but a gang of feisty nuns and the Mother Superior as well.
REHEARSALS
Consists of a 8 week rehearsal schedule, 3-6 time per week. The cast will re-
ceive a Rehearsal schedule by the first cast meeting or first rehearsal.
