Playmakers Ready for Nunsense

The Playmakers join the fun on Pelican Festival weekend by presenting Meshuggah-Nuns: The Ecumenical Nunsense, funded with assistance from the Oklahoma Arts Council. This time the crazy nuns are on a cruise, trying to relax after a busy year. This version of the ever-popular Nunsense productions opens Friday, September 23 for a nine performance run. A special, optional, dessert may be added to your enjoyment for a small fee.
If you haven’t seen one of The Playmakers’ Nunsense productions, you are forgiven, and you can make amends. This may be your last chance to enjoy all the puns and antics of the wacky Little Sisters of Hoboken. If you have been lucky enough to see one or more, you’ll know that now is the time to call for reservations. In Meshuggah-Nuns, the Sisters are on the S.S. Golden Delicious, Apple of the Eden Line, for a Faith of All Nations cruise. You will laugh yourself silly watching these holy ladies perform as Mae West, Sophie Tucker, Shelly Winters, and the Andrews Sisters. There’s even a rousing take off on the Village People's Macho Man called Matzo Man.
The ship-board entertainment is Fiddler On The Roof, but a storm lays the cast of that production in their bunks, sea-sick, except for Howard, the actor playing Teyve. Fortunately, the Nuns have eaten their Dramamine brownies and, never passing up an opportunity to get in the lime-light, they team up with Howard in a Jewish-Catholic musical comedy which punctures stereotypes aplenty.
The original Playmaker cast is back: Linda DuBois as the Mother Superior, Sister Mary Regina; Pat Edmondson as Sister Mary Hubert; Lori Klickman as Sister Mary Robert; and Vicki King as Sister Mary Paul (Amnesia), complete with her smart-mouthed puppet, Sister Mary Annette. Making his debut in this production is Roy Harding as the actor Howard, playing Tevye.
Show dates and times are Fridays, Sept. 23 & 30 at 7:30 pm; Saturdays Sept. 24 at 7:30 and Saturday, Oct. 1, 2:00 and 7:30; Tuesday, Sept. 27 & Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7:30; Sundays, Sept. 25 and Oct 2 at 2:00. Adult tickets are $10 and students(K–12), $5.00. The special dessert is only $2.50 extra. Beverages are provided by Java Dave’s without charge.
Reservations are encouraged as seating is limited. Call The Playmakers, 918-786-8950.
The suggested maturity level for this production is elementary school and older. This age level is based on those who will be able to understand the play and find it enjoyable, and who will not disturb other audience members.
