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.

Sister Act is directed by The Belmont Theatre's Artistic Director Rene Staub. Vocal Direction is by Jacquie Sutton. The cast features April Harrison as Deloris Van Cartier, Vicki Bohn as Mother Superior, Christopher Quigley as Curtis, Ben Eisenhour as Eddie, Adelaide Achterberg as Sister Mary Robert, Vicki Schneider as Sister Mary Robert and an ensemble of nuns who will be sure to have you laughing and dancing in the aisles!
