Nunsense 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.
The cast has been expanded to 9w, 2m, 5 any gender - the original five nuns are now joined by five new (male and female) characters, including the never-before-seen infamous convent cook, Sister Julia, Child of God all backed by a large chorus of children, women, and men.

Artist Village was founded by a group of professional artists and arts educators who thoroughly understand the value of your work, skills, and time as an artist. Our primary funding source, currently, consists of grants and private donors. Though we would love to, we are unable to compensate actors at a level which recognizes the value of their talent, training, or time in the way a fully professional company might. Compensation ranges from Guest Artist to a simple gas stipend. Contract terms are negotiated individually based on position.
