Very Good Habits
Being a nunn was never so much fun, as Garden City Productions presentation of Nunsense. The play ran from Nov. 16 - Dec. 2 at Ridley College's Mandeville Theatre and proved to be one of GCP's finest and funniest productions ever.
Of course, as with any live production, the show is only as good as its performers and fortunately for Nunsense (and the full house they enjoyed each night) the 5 stars of this play were "holier than thou".
Starring as the Little Sisters of Hoboken were Kathie Gosen (Mother Superior), Betsy Tauro (Sister Mary Hubert), Kiley Whissell (Sister Robert Anne), Chelsea DiFranco (Sister Mary Amnesia) and Breton Lalama (Sister Mary Leo).
Part musical, part comedy, Nunsense was a the perfect mix of song and laughs...lots of laughs! Although each character shared the spotlight equally, Chelsea DiFranco as Sister Mary Amnesis was ironically the most most memorable, in my books.
I joined my mother and her friends for the show's Dec. 1st performance. As you may recall, my mother lives only a block away from the theatre, meaning we can park at her place and walk to the show, rather than search for a parking spot at the theatre. It also meant that should I suddenly feel ill, I could leave the show and walk to mom's to recover. I am happy to say i did not need to use this insurance and enjoyed the entire production with little discomfort.
