Hallelujah!  The east-end theatre company (etc) presents a madcap look at convent life with the musical comedy, NUNSENSE.   This hilarious international hit has won four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Off-Broadway Musical and is the second longest running musical in off-Broadway history.    And even if you’ve seen it before, you do not want to miss etc’s production of NUNSENSE.

etc brings the Little Sisters of Hoboken to the stage with an exemplary cast, dynamic staging by director Kim Mytelka and exciting choreography by Deb Maceo, all tied together by the musical talents and direction of Deb Lewis.  Cast members are Sandra Raftis as Reverend Mother Mary Regina; Robbie Anderson as Sister Mary Hubert; Robin Lusby-Schaefer as Sister Robert Anne; Patty Talley as Sister Mary Amnesia; and Katie Harrison as Sister Mary Leo.

The five Little Sisters of Hoboken find themselves having to raise money quickly due to an unfortunate, yet hysterical situation.  The solution:  an uproarious talent show staged by the nuns themselves. 

NUNSENSE is the brain child (book, music, and lyrics) of Dan Goggin, whose experiences in parochial school left him with loving memories of the nuns who taught him. 
 
NUNSENSE opens at etc on Friday, February 18th.  Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sunday afternoons at 2:30pm through March 13th.  Tickets to the February 18th opening and “Love is a Habit” gala are $50.00 each.  Tickets to all other performances are $25.00 for adults and $20.00 for students and senior citizens (ages 55 and up).  Because “NUNSENSE is habit forming,” advance ticket purchases are recommended.
 
etc is located at 2001 Postoffice Street in Galveston.  For tickets or more information, please call (409) 762-3556 or toll-free at 888-273-3556 or visit the website at www.islandetc.org.
