SOAR Regional Arts Group – comprised of theater and music lovers from St. Michael-Albertville-Otsego and Rogers – is set to bring a weekend run of one of the most popular off-Broadway shows in theater history to St. Michael-Albertville Middle School West this weekend.
The group will be producing “Nunsense,” a story that was, in fact, inspired by a line of greeting cards and later became a New York sensation. The show runs tonight through Sunday.
From SOAR: In Nunsense – we find the sisters six weeks after their last performance presenting a “thank-you” show for all the people who supported them, but now, they’re a bit slicker, having been “bitten by the theater bug.” Things get off to a rousing start, but before long… chaos erupts. Sister Mary Amnesia (who has won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes) might be kidnapped! At the same time the nuns hear that a talent scout is in the audience to see them strut their stuff.
The talented cast:
Reverend Mother — Tari Karbula
Sister Hubert — Deborah Schee
Sister Robert Anne — Beth King
Sister Amnesia — Emma Hage
Sister Leo — Sydney Summers
This weekend’s shows begin at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Thursday), Friday and Saturday, with a special 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 28. All shows are at STMA Middle School West, 11343 50th Street NE Albertville, MN 55301.
Saturday and Sunday’s performances are special dinner theater performances with catering from Broaster Catering.
Tickets can be found online, via the SOAR Regional Arts Group page. Online Ticket sales will close 1-2 hours prior to each performance. Tickets will still be available at the door.
