"Nunsense 2: The Second Coming", the rest of the story! Six weeks after their first benefit performance, those zany singing nuns are back in action, opening a 'thank you' variety show for their loyal supporters. This time they are forced to work around the set dressing of "The Mikado" which is being presented the following week by the Hoboken Music Society on the Mt. Saint Helen's stage. Chaos and comedy erupt when two Franciscans come to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (who has just won the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes) as one of their own.

A romantic fantasy about love in three tenses where science and logic take a back seat to the dictates of the human heart. At a trip to the fairgrounds, Helen is swept off her feet by a carnie named Jed, who gives her one of the nicest days of her life. Helen wishes for a chance to repeat this special day—and magically her wish is granted! Now Helen is doomed to repeat the same day over and over, unless her friends and family can save her—and the universe!

On The Radio
Bonus Christmas show!
Performances:
2:00 PM: December 14, 21, 2008
"On The Radio" is a sweet holiday treat for the whole family! In the late 1940's, men are returning home and small-town America is celebrating its first Christmas, post- WWII. A lot of things have changed on the home front, but some things carry on with a steady beat—like Big Band music and the ever hopeful human spirit. Written by local author and original 'Footlighters Junior', Patti Craw Adeff, this season's Bonus Holiday Show combines music and comedy for a warmly nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Tickets are $10 for this performance, $5 for students with ID. We accept payment in cash, by check or by major credit card.
Gaslight
Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Performances:
2:00 PM: January 18, 25, and February 1, 2009
You'll be kept on the edge of your seat by this classic Victorian thriller. Gaslight, by Patrick Hamilton, begins in the peaceful sitting room in the Manninghams' home on Angel Street. The calm is broken as we learn that the handsome Mr. Manningham is slowly torturing his wife Bella under the guise of kindness. An unexpected caller, Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard restores Mrs. Manningham's confidence as they build up evidence against Mr. Manningham.
A Broadway hit starring Vincent Price that has been made into two noteworthy films, the latest earning an Oscar for Ingrid Bergman, Gaslight builds and sustains some of the most brilliant suspense in the modern theatre.
Tickets are $14 for this performance, $10 for students with ID. We accept payment in cash, by check or by major credit card.

Performances:
2:00 PM: March 22, 29 and April 5, 2009
A farce, a medieval romance and a philosophical comedy rolled into one delightful romp! In 470 A.D., England's King Ambrose sends his rambunctious army on a mission to Ireland to gather mammoth rocks, known as the Giant's Dance. At home, while the Queen and Druid Priest arrange celebratory human sacrifices, a Roman Christian prisoner becomes the Princess' bodyguard, and promptly falls in love! Overseeing all the mayhem is Merlin, whose timely magical intervention unites the lovers, punishes the evildoers and makes clear the folly of war.

Sherlock's Last Case
Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Performances:
2:00 PM: May 24, 31 and June 7, 2009
Winner of the Louis B. Mayer Award and created by an American-born playwright/director who has become one of the most celebrated figures of modern British theater, this diabolically clever (and frequently funny) play was first presented as part of the Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles and is scheduled for future Broadway presentation. Illuminating aspects of the master sleuth's character heretofore ignored, Sherlock's Last Case is both true to the spirit of the original and a totally fresh and absorbing theater experience.
Tickets are $14 for this performance, $10 for students with ID. We accept payment in cash, by check or by major credit card.
