The Little Sisters of Hoboken desperately need your support! The tragedy of having to bury 52 of their sisters, all accidently poisoned by the vichyssoise served by cook - Sister Julia, Child of God - has left them financially devastated. Through lack of funds, four of the departed nuns are being held in the freezer - and it's only a matter of time before the health inspector discovers the awful truth. Please help them raise the money for the outstanding burials by supporting their musical fund-raiser 'nunsense'. Oh by the way, did I tell you - it's hysterical!

See it at the Theatre in the Dockyard, West Dockyard, Simon's Town

These 5 Devoted Sisters will bring you LOTS of JOY... and FUN!
SISTER MARY REGINA, the beloved Mother Superior of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, is originally from the small Irish county of Kilquirky. She headed the pioneering religious group who established the Mediterranean leper colony and later returned to Hoboken as Superior General of the Order. After Nunsense, Mother Superior says she has no desire to continue in the theatre, but rumour has it that she would consider doing national commercials or a television series to raise money for the order. SISTER MARY HUBERT -- a graduate of Precious Blood Elementary School -- currently serves the Order as Mistress of Novices, training new recruits. Her position is not unlike a drill sergeant, however, she is the first to point out that her approach is more gentle -- but firm. Sister is a "little off the wall" at times but this has been attributed to the fact that she was trampled by a camel that went beserk during the annual nativity pageant held in the leper colony. (She was playing one of the three wise men). SISTER MARY ROBERT ANNE was the child of a disadvantaged Brooklyn family. After dropping out of Verna's Cashier School, Reverend Mother took pity and accepted her into the Little Sisters of Hoboken. Today she is one of the most popular sisters with New Jersey kids because she speaks their language. Reverend Mother regrets that a lot of this language is unprintable. The nuns rarely discuss her 3-year-old son. SISTER MARY AMNESIA is truly a lost soul. She arrived at the convent in her habit without a clue as to her identity ... recalling only that a crucifix fell on her head. It has been said that she learned the art of ventriloquism when she became a Little Sister of Hoboken. SISTER MARY LEO came to the order from an Illinois farm and entered the convent to dedicate her life to God through the dance. Many people think that she took her name from the famous "leotard", but that is not true. She is named after her Uncle Leo, a notorious Chicago gangster. Sister thought that by taking his name, the Lord would go easy on him. She is a novice and has much to learn.
