Along the way\, audiences meet a cast of unforgettable characters\, including a former circus performer\, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn\, a novice ballerina and the delightfully eccentric Sister Mary Amnesia. \nFeaturing memorable musical numbers\, tap and ballet dancing\, audience participation and plenty of comic surprises\, Nunsense has become an international phenomenon with more than 5\,000 productions in 21 languages. \nWritten by Dan Goggin. Directed by Kory Yamada. Music direction by Suzanne Reyburn. Produced by Theatre L’Homme Dieu. \nShow run time: 2 hours\, including a 15-minute intermission. \nFor tickets and more information\, visit the Theatre L’Homme Dieu website.
