EDIN Notes
Friday night we went to see Nunsense, a play that ran off Broadway a few years ago
to much. It is a satirical look at the life of Nuns set in Hoboken NJ. We saw the play
put on in the small theater at Ironequoit High School by high school students. The
night we were there they played to a pack audience. From the beginning there was
much interaction between the actors and the audience ( ie the reason for having
the play in the smaller auditorium instead of large auditorium). The actors did
and excellent job in their respective roles and their was much comedy in humor
in their presentation and the audience ate it up. They had a basic set but it was
well used. Interesting to note that the Mother Superior Role was played by a man
instead of woman, but he did a good job in the role. There was also much singing
by actors and all did a good job. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and went away
smiling.

NUNSENSE follows the musically hilarious misadventures of the Little Sisters of Hoboken at Mount Saint Helen's School in Hoboken, New Jersey. Originally founded as a missionary order, they started out running a leper colony on an island south of France. Forced to leave the island when they lost control to a group of Protestant competitors, they returned to Hoboken. They went unnoticed until one day their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, unwittingly served some tainted vichyssoise soup and 52 sisters died of botulism. Fortunately a few of the sisters were off playing bingo with some Maryknolls and so were spared. Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision -- it was either Saint Catherine of Siena or Saint Thomas Aquinas in drag (she's not sure) -- in which she was told to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burials of the 52. The greeting cards were an enormous success and thinking there was plenty of money, Reverend other bought a VCR for the convent. When she realized there was only enough money left to bury 48, she decided to stage a talent show to raise the money to bury the last four sisters who were put on ice in the convent deep freeze. The fun is only just beginning when these crazy nuns take over!
