8:00 PM : Nunsense : book, music & lyrics by Dan Goggin
Nunsense, a zany, wholesome, hilarious musical revue, takes The Little Theatre stage! A hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns - ballet-loving Sister Lea, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the MOther Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert - stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.
2:00 PM : Cohan and Company : music & lyrics by George M. Cohan, book by Michael Rulin
Vibrant and rich with song and dance, this musical tells the life story of the master American showman. Cohan regales the audience, with tales from life on the various vaudeville circuits to his days of theatrical stardom. Get set for classic Cohan songs like "Mary's a Grand Old Name," "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Harrigan," and "Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway."
