Nunsense is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating food prepared by the convent cook. Thus the remaining nuns stage a talent show in order to raise money to bury their dearly departed. Nunsense will be performed by the original cast that performed the show on the Summer Theatre stage in 2000.
