New Bedford Festival Theatre presents the smash hit Dan Goggin’s Nunsense live on stage!
Festival Theatre and Producing Artistic Director Elizabeth Bettencourt have announced their production of Nunsense, August 9 - 18, 2024 at the Steeple Playhouse in New Bedford.
NUNSENSE is the hilarious musical farce about a convent of nuns staging a fundraiser to enable them to bury the last four nuns of their order who died of botulism in an unfortunate convent cooking accident (and who are temporarily being stored in the freezer!). The Little Sisters of Hoboken (well, what's left of them) put on this riotous revue packed with hilarious, show-stopping song and dance numbers, and always proves to be a crowd favorite.
The Production will be Directed by Elizabeth Bettencourt, Music Direction by Jameson Ward, Choreography by Brooklyn Toli, Lighting Design by Tim Helley, and Set Design by Trevor Elliott.
Tickets are available for $45.00 and are General Admission. NBFT Member seating available.
