Sister Act is the feel -good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony - and eight -time Oscar win -ner, Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors ), this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her

newly found sisterhood. SUGGESTED FOR PG13 AUDIENCES

Covering a broad spectrum from Sappho to writers of the pres -ent day, the play points up not only the triumphs of women in literature, but also the discouragement, derision and disbelief to which they were too often subjected. Spanning twenty -six centu -ries, the play evokes the words and feelings of women who were frequently obliged to hide behind anonymity or male names in order to practice their art, and from whom fantastic strength of character and indomitability were required. That they succeeded so brilliantly in their efforts is not only a tribute to these talented women in particular but, in a more general sense, to the irrepressible spirit of the entire “other half ” of humanity,

whose voice would not be denied.
