A Musical by DAN GOGGIN
Produced by ROCKING HORSE PRODUCTIONS

This audience favorite features the Sisters of Hoboken raising money with a variety show. Meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice and wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. With star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon.
