Do you know how many women have been pope? Nun. Did you hear that Mother Superior had to crack down on nuns in the convent wearing perfume? She wasn’t having any of that Nun-scents. But if you’re ready for Nunsense, the musical with singing, dancing nuns who are just trying to earn a buck to bury their frozen sisters— then The Salem Players of Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Catonsville has got you covered!
The JCS Summer Community Theatre is here to show you the humor of the nun! That’s right, they’re back in the habit— well, some habits are returning to the stage at any rate (remember two summers ago and all the nuns from their great production of The Sound of Music?)— and the JCSSCT is thrilled to be debuting Nunsense as their summer show. Directed and Choreographed by Dickie Mahoney,

She’s holier than thou! Supreme chief nun, as it were, the big momma in charge!

And she has some explaining to do about those poor nuns stuck in the freezer!
Mother Superior? Reverend Mother? What should we call you?

Sister Robert Anne, can you tell us how you came to be with the Little Sisters of Riverdale?
Sister Robert Anne: Well,
It is always unfortunate when a sister comes down with an illness! Thankfully Sister Leo did not come down with a case of death like the other 52 sisters at the Little Sisters of Riverdale after the incident!

Thank you, Sister, for taking a brief moment out of your rehearsal for the talent show to sit down and speak with us.
Nunsense! It’s habit forming! It’s hilarious! It’s a last ditch effort to get those poor nuns out of the freezer and into consecrated ground where they belong! A new group of characters comes along to the “Imaginative Interview” series. This time TheatreBloom is going to get to the bottom of what’s happening with the Little Sisters of Riverdale (generously hosted by the Wolf Pack Theatre Company in their current production of Nunsense) and hear all about how those unfortunate nuns ended up in the freezer and just exactly how they’ll be gotten out.
