Spread the love around! Audiences and Critics alike agree that the White Plains Performing Arts Center's production of Sister Act is a hit! Now playing until January 8, the show is a must-see.

"Sister Act at White Plains Performing Arts Center literally blew the roof off the City Center and did not let go... it was hilarious to see such archetype nuns break out in rousing musical ensemble numbers. You kind of have to see it to believe it!" "I commend the cast and creative team on a triumphant achievement. These nuns "Take me to Heaven" indeed!" - Kathryn Kitt, BroadwayWorld

Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that had audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, 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.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave you breathless. Experience this sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
