NUNSENSE
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
Feb. 3-19

NUNSENSE is a hilarious talent show staged by five survivors of the Little Sisters of Hoboken nunnery. The rest of the sisters have succumbed to botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia, Child of God. The remaining sisters parade their talents at a variety show staged to raise funds, so that the last four of the dearly departed can be buried. “Nunsense” offers a cornucopia of hilarity for the whole family, proving conclusively that nun rhymes with fun!
