Our Next production is "Nunsense" - a musical comedy
It begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of “Grease.” Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Featuring star turns,tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon. With more than 5000 productions worldwide, it has been translated into 21 languages.

We are pleased to announce that our next major show will be the first ever official local production of the classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Performances will be at the Desborough Theatre from March 13th to 16th 2019.
Based on the beloved 1968 film of Ian Fleming’s children’s book, and featuring an unforgettable score by the composers of Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the perfect family musical that’s “Truly Scrumptious”!
An eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, sets about restoring an old racing car from a scrap heap with the help of his children Jeremy and Jemima. They soon discover that the car has magical properties including the ability to float and take flight. Trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself. The family joins forces with Truly Scrumptious and batty Grandpa to defeat the Baron and escape the clutches of the evil child-catcher!
