Nunsense

by

Written by Dan Goggin
Directed by Kory Yamada
Music Directed by Suzanne Reyburn
Produced by Theare L’Homme Dieu
Nunsense 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 production of “Grease.” 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.

Souvenir

by

Writer: Stephen Temperley
Director: Angela Timberman
Produced by Gremlin Theatre
For more than half a century, the name Florence Foster Jenkins has produced explosions of laughter. Not unreasonably so, as this wealthy social eccentric suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano… when in fact she was incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune! Nevertheless, her annual recitals in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton brought her extraordinary fame and a growing mob of fans who packed her recitals – stuffing their mouths with handkerchiefs to stifle their laughter, which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for cheers.

SOUVENIR, by turns hilarious and poignant, tells her story through the eyes of her long-time accompanist, Cosme McMoon. With each new imagined triumph, and as Florence’s confidence soars, Cosme comes to revise his attitude, not only toward her singing, but to the very meaning of music itself.
