The score pulses with merriment and an unabashed desire to make you laugh with songs and spontaneous comic interludes paced at break-neck speed. Amid the merriment is a riotous audience participation quiz that has everyone rolling in the aisles. Nunsense offers a cornucopia of hilarity for the whole family proving conclusively that nun rhymes with fun!

Nunsense is good old-fashioned comedy at its best: it is quick paced generally raucous occasionally touching and totally wonderful. Bravo! Back Stage
