Nunsense II: The Second Coming arrives in Bryan Hall Theatre on Friday, July 27, the 17th annual summer musical production presented by the WSU School of Music.
The story takes place six weeks after the sisters have staged their first benefit. The sisters are back presenting a “thank-you” show for all the people who supported them in the past. But now, they’re a bit slicker, having been “bitten by the theater bug.” Things get to off to a rousing start as the sisters sing “Nunsense, the Magic Word,” but before long, chaos erupts. Two Franciscans come to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (who has won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes) as one of their own. At the same time the nuns hear that a talent scout is in the audience to see them strut their stuff. From the riotous bingo game run by Sister Amnesia to the hilarious duet, “What Would Elvis Do?,” to the rousing finale, “There’s Only One Way to End Your Prayers and That’s to Say Amen!,” this show will have you rolling in the aisles!
The four sisters will be played by WSU students Katie Berndt, Kristina Gaumnitz, Leticia Monteiro and Anya Guadamuz. They will be joined by Dr. Lori Wiest as Mother Superior and directed by Dr. Julie Anne Wieck, both members of the School of Music faculty.
Shows run July 27, 28, 29 and August 24, 25 at 8 p.m. for Friday/Saturday performances and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets will be available at the door one hour before each performance at the cost of $10 for students/seniors and $15 for general admission. This show is definitely family friendly!
