Earlier this season, Theatre 29 announced the desert debut of the Off-Broadway musical “Disenchanted” as part of their 2023-24 season. Due to unforeseen casting difficulties, they were not able to continue that project. 

Director Charles Harvey will replace it with the hugely popular ecumenical musical, “Nunsense”.

With catchy songs and irreverent comedy, “Nunsense” is sure to keep audiences rolling with laughter. Featured in the cast of a small group of nuns who put on a talent show to raise funds to bury their last four dead sisters due to an accidental poisoning by soup incident at the convent are Mother Superior Laura Harwood, Mistress of Novices Sister Hubert played by Lisa Hodgson, wise-cracking Sister Robert Anne played by Kimberly Sonntag, Forgetful Sister Amnesia portrayed by Tiffany Crocker and ballerina Sister Leo played by Melissa McNiel. 

The production run will remain May 24 – June 9th, with tickets available now at theatre29.org.
