Nunsense at Theatre L’Homme Dieu

by

Add big laughs to your summer getaway with Nunsense at Theatre L’Homme Dieu in Alexandria, August 4–8.

When the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, they stage a variety show to raise money for the burials. Along the way, audiences meet a cast of unforgettable characters, including a former circus performer, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn, a novice ballerina and the delightfully eccentric Sister Mary Amnesia.

Featuring memorable musical numbers, tap and ballet dancing, audience participation and plenty of comic surprises, Nunsense has become an international phenomenon with more than 5,000 productions in 21 languages.

Written by Dan Goggin. Directed by Kory Yamada. Music direction by Suzanne Reyburn. Produced by Theatre L’Homme Dieu.

Show run time: 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission.

For tickets and more information, visit the Theatre L’Homme Dieu website.

Two women dressed as nuns, one in a large winged white headdress, joyfully dance together on stage at Theatre L'Homme Dieu, holding hands and lifting a leg in the air—a lively moment from the musical comedy Nunsense.
