REHEARSALS are underway for Nunsense, a hilarious musical comedy in the traditional Broadway style that will take to the stage in Queenscliff next month.
The Queenscliffe Lighthouse Theatre Group’s production follows on from its recent success of It’s My Party (and I’ll Die If I Want Too) at the 360Q and as part of the Queenscliff Low Light Festival.
During Nunsense, the Little Sisters of Hoboken have decided to put on a “Show” to raise money to bury sisters accidentally poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia (Child of God). Updated with new jokes, additional lyrics, two new arrangements, and a brand-new song as well as tap dancing and lots of shenanigans.
The cast includes Jennie Roles as Sister Mary Regina and a feisty Mother Superior who can’t resist the spotlight.
Jennie has years of experience as a musical comedy performer with several awards and a list of credits too long to mention, but last year directed the very popular “Dinkum Assorted”.
Carol Fogg will delight as Sister Mary Hubert, the mistress of Novices – the second in command.
Carol has performed with most theatre companies in the Geelong region as well as guest vocalist, and was last seen in “Dinkum Assorted”.
QLTG welcomes newcomers to the company, Jess Dolley as Sister Robert Anne, the street wise school teacher, and Tamasyn Shannon, as the very sweet Sister Mary Leo, who has the desire of being the first ever Nun ballerina.
Lastly Sister Mary Amnesia, who has lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head, is played by Lisa Jones, who is also assisting with vocal direction and previously has worked with the company as stage manager.
The Queenscliffe Lighthouse Theatre Group production, written by Dan Goggin and directed by Debbie Fraser, will be at Queenscliff Uniting Church Hall from September 13 to 21.
Bookings are at trybooking.com/BDTXA or through the QLTG website.
