NUNSENSE Comes To Terrific New Theatre This January The hilarious musical comedy "Nunsense" is the first offering of the New Year for Terrific New Theatre (TNT), opening on Thursday, January 18, 2018.Written by Dan Goggin, and featuring the antics of five singing/dancing nuns, "Nunsense"runs until February 10, with shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8p.m. and on Sundays,January 28 and February 4, at 2:30p.m.

After losing most of their convent to a leper-colony mission and an unfortunate food-poisoning incident, five unforgettable nuns hold a fundraiser to help pay the burial costs for their sisters. Their variety show of music, dancing and comedy will have Catholics and non-Catholics alike falling out of their chairs before the evening is over.

The original "Nunsense" ran for nearly 4,000 performances off-Broadway, and the beloved nun characters have spawned six sequels and three spin-offs.The show stars Darby Burgess, Theo Edwards-Butler, Melanie Hollenstein, Elise Mayfield as the nuns and Kristin Staskowski as the Reverend Mother.
