What are the odds that a musical revue devoted to nuns who cut up, do stand-up comedy, and want to break into show business would be a success? Not Great, you say? Well, you’d be wrong! There is a virtual NUNSENSE dynasty built on the fun and excitement created by nuns in habits singing, dancing and telling jokes. Goofy? Yes! Fun? Yes…and, as NUNSENSE folk are fond of saying, habit forming! The original NUNSENSE, whose unlikely premise was a fund-raising event for the burial of 4 nuns who died of bot- ulism after gulping vichysoisse prepared by Sister Julia Child of God, ran, in NY, for 10 years. Its sequel NUNSENSE II met with equal success as the zany singing nuns gained fame and popularity. It is NUNSENSE III, or Sister Amnesia’s Country Western NUNSENSE JAMBOREE that opened the season for Mt. Washington Valley Theatre Co. at Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in No. Conway. If you’re ready for an evening of pure silly fun…Sister Amnesia’s Country Western NUNSENSE JAMBOREE is the ticket. The show runs Tuesday through Sunday, until July 21st at Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in North Conway Village. For information or reservations, please call the Box Office at 603-356-5776 or visit the Theatre Company’s web- site at www.mwvtheatre.org MAN OF LA MANCHA fol- lows NUNSENSE, opening on July 24th and running through August 4th.
