SISTER ACT to Open New Season at Theatre Memphis
Performances will run August 18 – September 10, 2023.
Sister Act will takes to the Lohrey Theatre stage at Theatre Memphis August 18 – September 10, 2023, and offer madcap entertainment … bar “nun”. This rousing and rocking musical comes to life when a disco nightclub singer witnesses a crime. She becomes fearful of being discovered by the criminals and her confession to police lands her in a convent that seems to be the perfect shelter. Her stay with the nuns helps her and the sisters, quite literally, find their true voices.
Director Ann Marie Hall says divine intervention brought her to the director's table for this over-the-top musical story. “Debbie Litch called,” she laughs. “Once I was presented to the project, it made a lot of sense. With my upbringing and “criminal” history I was sure I could assemble quite the cast to find the story within the comedy. It's kinda what I do. This show is really musical comedy at its most fun.”
The Executive Producer at Theatre Memphis, Debbie Litch, proclaims, “The divine thing is that we have the perfect director for this show and an amazing talent base in Memphis to be able to throw a broad net to attract the best of the best. Having this cast, crew and stable of musicians is the real godsend”
