The Nuns are back with more zany, madcap antics!

Giving the gift of laughter this Christmas is easy with tickets to Judy Russell’s newest effort “Nunsense 2: The Second Coming,” another witty, irreverent musical comedy featuring Prince George’s favourite nuns. The madcap review-type show hits the Prince George Playhouse for eleven shows: Tuesday, January 9 – Sunday January 14 and Tuesday January 16 to Saturday January 20. All shows start at 8:00 pm, except for the Sunday, January 14 show, which is a 2:00 pm matinee.

“Nunsense 2” follows up on the zany and upbeat “Nunsense” which was a big hit with Prince George audiences last year. Like the original, “Nunsense 2” takes place in the “gymnatorium” of Mt. Saint Hellen’s School and features the same group of nuns, six weeks later, now bitten by the theatre bug and ready to put on a “Thank-You Program” for all the people who supported them in their first benefit. For all those patrons who didn’t attend the first benefit, Sister Hubert has written a “high speed” synopsis for the Sisters to act out, immediately bringing everyone up-to-date. Original Nunsense fans will be greeting old friends, while first-timers at Nunsense 2 will be completely at home with new friends.

“This show is light and fun, and a great time for people of all ages,” said Judy Russell. “We had such a great time and such a great response with Nunsense last year that we just had to produce the follow-up show.”

Returing to the convent for this show are original cast members Judy Wiebe, Catherine Hansen-McCarthy, Robin Norman, Sandra Clermont and Kelsey Wheatley. Veterans of the local stage, each is known for their stunning work from shows such as Hello, Dolly!, Annie, Gypsy, Chicago, Cabaret, Peter Pan, Jesus Christ Superstar and others. Leading the six-piece orchestra will be Val Stanley, with set, lighting and sound design by the versatile Bill Russell.

Tickets for “Nunsense 2: The Second Coming” are available starting Thursday, November 9 at Studio 2880, and are just $23 for seniors and students, and $26 for adults. Call 563-2880 to reserve your tickets today!
