WIN | Double pass to Nunsense at the Clink Theatre this weekend

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

Newsport readers have a chance to win two double passes to the Douglas Theatre Arts Group’s latest production, Nunsunse.

Nunsense (1985) is a musical comedy with a book, music, and lyrics by Dan Goggin. Originating as a line of greeting cards, Goggin expanded the concept into a cabaret show that ran for 38 weeks, and eventually into a full-length musical.

Starring an all local cast Andrea Cameron, Angela Whittaker, Cathy Knight, Jenn Kerr and Narelle Spencer shine in this well written production.

Directed by Shaun Cram this mad capped comedy has been a laugh a minute for the cast as it’s bound to be for the audience.

It contains some fantastic music which our cast have been led by Alteouise DeVaughn and dance routines by Saskia Turner which bring this production to an ultimate pinnacle.

Five of the 19 surviving Little Sisters of Hoboken, a one-time missionary order that ran a leper colony on an island south of France, discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, accidentally killed the other fifty-two residents of the convent with her tainted vichyssoise while they were off playing bingo with a group of Maryknolls.

Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision in which she was told to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burials.

The greeting cards were an enormous success and, thinking there was plenty of money, the Reverend Mother bought a VCR and camcorder for the convent, leaving her with no money in the kitty to pay for the last four burials.

With the deceased nuns on ice in the deep freeze, they decide to stage a variety show in the Mount Saint Helen's School auditorium to raise the necessary amount.

Participating in the project are Mother Superior Mary Regina, a former circus performer who cannot resist the spotlight; her competitive but dignified rival, second-in-command Sister Mary Hubert; Sister Robert Anne, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is determined to be the world's first ballerina nun; and wacky, childlike Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

The entertainment that they present includes solo star turns, madcap dance routines, and an audience quiz all set on the stage of the 8th Graders “Grease” production.

After an amazing season last year Nunsense returns to the Clink Theatre 19 to 22 September ans we are giving away a double pass to the show on Friday, 20 September, and Saturday, 21 September.
