Tap dancing nuns...an audience quiz...and a host of comic suprises along the way.  Not seen at the Alhambra in almost 10 years, Nunsense is a comedy classic that always leaves you wanting more.  The premise of "Nunsense", the long-running off-Broadway musical, is that the few nuns from the convent of The Little Sisters of Hoboken have pooled their talents to produce a benefit.  They need to raise money to bury the 4 colleagues who are being stored in the school's cafeteria freezer.  The unholy problems began one night when 19 sisters went off to play bingo. On their return, they found the other 52 members of the convent lying face-down at the dinner table in their bowls of vichyssoise. It seems that the cook, Sister Julia, child of God, had mistakenly served a double dose of botulism to the nuns. As one nun explains the incident, "For 52, bon appetite was also bon voyage.  After a greeting-card sale, there was only enough money to bury 48 sisters, which is why four bodies are in the freezer and a group of nuns are on the stage singing, dancing and offering Roman Catholic comedy routines.

“Sure to be one of the most popular productions this summer and with darned good reason,” is what Virginia’s Tri-City News said this May when this show opened in Abingdon.  We think you’ll love it, too! Jason Petty has won critical acclaim all over the country for his surreal performance as country legend Hank Williams in the off-Broadway hit Hank Williams’ “Lost Highway". So much so that his performance racked up 5 nominations in New York’s award ceremonies for Best Actor. Now, this multi-talented singer/actor/musician is bringing his own tribute show out on the road backed by a swinging four-piece band, Hank Williams tribute artist Jason Petty.  This show will make you smile, make you cry,  and make you clap your hands and stomp your feet in excitement.  We will take you back in time to the beginnings of country music with one of its legends.   Combine that with a respectful telling of Williams’ tragic and to-short life story, and you’ll love country music – any music – more than ever.
