In the first play in this series of shows by Dan Goggin, which was just called Nunsense, Sister Mary Amnesia (so-called because a crucifix had fallen on her head and she couldn’t remember who she was) finally realized that she was Sister Mary Paul, a nun who had always wanted to be a country singer. Now, in NUNSENSE JAMBOREE, Sister Amnesia (Nancy Loy) has made her first album and is on a tour promoting her new recording. She is touring with Sister Robert Anne (Deb Grecol), Sister Mary Leo (Phyllis Zerkle) and two new friends: Father Virgil Trott (Alex Nawrocki) –Sister Mary Leo’s brother, a Franciscan priest with his own country radio show– and Sister Mary Wilhelm (Suellen Reitz), the Superintendent of Nursing.
Cheered by audiences and critics alike as funny and fast-paced, this hilarious hoedown is Nunsense fun with a Laugh-In/Hee-Haw/Grand Ole Opry slant. Outrageously funny musical numbers include “I Could’ve Gone To Nashville,” “Every Day of the Week Is a Saturday”, “The Delta Queen,” “We Miss You, Patsy Cline. You say you’re not a country music fan? Don’t worry – this country music is “Nunsense-style,” guaranteed to please any fan of upbeat, foot tapping music.
