Final Hold-Over Weekend Announced for NUNSENSE at The Texas Repertory Theatre Co.; to Close 8/4

By:

The Texas Rep Theatre Co., Houston's Uptown Classic Theatre, continues its tradition of Summer musicals with Dan Goggin's classic musical, NUNSENSE,. Directed in a new production by Dan Obrien, NUNSENSE has been held over by popular demand, and will now run 4 performances a week through August 4th..

This "Sister Act" will convince you once and for all that nuns have a major funny bone! The Little Sisters of Hoboken have a problem. Their convent cook has accidentally served a bunch of the sisters a tainted batch of soup, and several of the sisters have met their maker. Prayers are nice, but the surviving sisters need to raise some dough for the burials. A bake sale isn't going to do it, so the sisters put on a talent show to end all talent shows. They cobble together a wacky and hilarious act at the Mount Saint Helen's School auditorium led by Mother Superior Mary Regina, a former circus performer. Jokes, songs and dancing nuns add up to one of the silliest musical celebrations ever! The result is sheer comic and musical madness! Winner of Four Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Off-Broadway Musical!"A hail of fun and frolic! Wacky and outrageous with a hysterical anything-goes sense of fun!"--The New York Times

The Texas Repertory Theatre production of NUNSENSE features a cast of Texas Rep favorites as well as some of the most exciting new talent to hit the Houston Stage under the direction of Dan O'Brien, director of past season's Smoky Joe's Café and Beehive. Performing in its 8th anniversary season, The Texas Repertory Theatre Co. has become one of Houston's premiere theatrical venues, and continues to offer year-round seasons of plays and musicals to the deserving audiences of NW Houston.
