The Fowlerville Performing Arts Center will present “Nunsense”, its first-ever community production on March 15-17 at 7:30 p.m. and March 18 at 2:30 p.m.  All tickets are $10.00.  Advance tickets are available at the Chiropractic Health Center of Fowlerville, and the Fowlerville Community Education Office.  Tickets will also be available at the door.  The Performing Arts Center production will feature an all-female cast on March 15 and 17, and an all-male cast on March 16 and 18.   

“Nunsense” is the entertaining musical revue by composer and lyricist Dan Goggin, who wrote “Nunsense” because he wanted to share “the humor of the nun.”  Each of the nuns, known as the Little Sisters of Hoboken, is based on a real-life nun in Goggin’s life.

The comical plot begins when the Little Sister of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned fifty-two nuns with her deadly vichyssoise soup.  Using money raised from a greeting card business, forty-eight of the dearly departed have been buried.  Unfortunately the Reverend Mother spends part of the burial money on a plasma TV, so four dead sisters still remain on ice in the convent freezer.  In order to raise funds to bury the nuns in deep freeze, the surviving sisters decide to put on a variety show where they can display their individual talents on stage.  They take over the auditorium of Mount St. Helen’s School where the eighth graders have set the stage for their upcoming production of “Grease”.  The entertainment that they present includes solo star turns, madcap dance routines, and an audience quiz.

Participating in the project are Therea Pushies and Ron Charette as Mother Superior Mary Regina, a former circus performer who can not resist the spotlight; Kailey LaGrow and Dr. Tim Tersigni as Sister Mary Hubert, a competitive but dignified rival to the Rev. Mother; Jessica Masserant and Konnor Newman as Sister Robert Anne, a streetwise nun fromBrooklyn; Lis Burton and Brian Lauer as Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is determined to be the world's first ballerina nun; Jasmine Rose and Cody Musteffe as Sister Mary Amnesia, a wacky, childlike nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head; and Kyle Masserant as the convent stage director. The production team includes Diana Dombrowski (director), Terri Palazzolo (orchestra conductor), and Anne Mathis (pianist).

All ages are welcome, but parents should know that the show is humorously risque at times with mildly inappropriate language.  It is not intended for children; however, the PAC leaves that decision to the discretion of the parents.
