MCP is Excited to Present a Summer Double Header!

MCP_Nunsense logoMCP_Nunsense A-men logoJoin us for
Nunsense and Nunsense A-men
Two unCONVENTual musicals

Nunsense, directed by Jay Fultz, is the hilarious result of a variety show put on by the Little Sisters of Hoboken as a fundraiser. When they need to raise funds to bury the last four sisters of the fifty who died of botulism after consuming Sr. Julia Child of God’s vichyssoise, they decide sharing their talents will do the trick. The last remaining nuns of their order…Reverend Mother Regina, Sr. Mary Hubert, Sister Robert Anne, Sr. Amnesia, and novice Sr. Leo…rally together, so that their fellow sisters can be put to rest.

Nunsense will be performed July 15 & 16 at 8:00 PM and July 17 & 23 at 3:00 PM.

When the good sisters are unable to perform because Sr. Julia Child of God strikes again, the men of the stage crew rise to the occasion and present Nunsense A-men. They do so because “the show must go on.” Nunsense A-men will be performed July 21, 22 & 23 at 8:00 PM and July 24 at 3:00 PM.

Tickets to attend either Nunsense or Nunsense A-men are $20 for Adults and $15 for Seniors and Students.

If you would wish to attend both shows, prices are $35 for Adults and $30 for Seniors and Students. You may choose any of the Nunsense performances coupled with any of the Nunsense A-men performances. No need to come on the same evening or day of the week for both. You can choose when you make your ticket purchase online or by leaving a message at 513.398.7804 as to which to shows you prefer.

There is also a special Double or Nun event being held Saturday, July 23rd that allows audience members to see Nunsense at 3:00 PM and Nunsense A-men at 8:00 PM with a box dinner in between. The cost for the event is $50 for adults and $45 for Seniors and Students.

Tickets are available at MasonPlayers.org.

NUNSENSE A-MEN Runs July 21-24

MCP_Nunsense A-men logoNUNSENSE A-MEN
Mason Community Players
July 21-24
Mason Community Playhouse

Directed by Lara Gonzalez
Music directed by Pete Padolik
Choreographed by Abby Farmer

Cast: Jay Fultz as Sr. Mary Regina, Stephen Catlin as Sr. Mary Hubert, Brian Bisig as Sr Mary Robert Anne, Brandon Dunphy as Sr. Mary Amnesia & Matt Lovell as Sr. Mary Leo

It all begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade school play. Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Featuring star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon. With more than 5000 productions worldwide, it has been translated into 21 languages.
