About the Show: Abigail Williams is in love. She has never known anyone like John Proctor, and if she has to burn down the entire town of Salem to be with him, so be it. However, as her words command more power than she ever thought possible, she learns that John isn’t the only one staking claim to things that aren’t his. Can she protect the girls in her town and still get her man? Does she even want to? This loose retelling of The Crucible looks at the politics of love, power, and teenage angst.

About the show: A zany, wholesome, hilarious musical revue presented by the Little Sisters of Hoboken, 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 vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed. With catchy songs and irreverent comedy, Nunsense is sure to keep audiences rolling with laughter.
