Seabury Hall Performing Arts proudly presents the divine Broadway musical Sister Act, based on the touchstone film starring Whoopi Goldberg. When a wannabe disco queen stumbles into a gangland hit, witness protection puts her in a nunnery.
“I love this show!” says Director/Choreographer David Ward.
“It's a funny upbeat show with heart. The characters are lovable, the songs are catchy, and the story is clever. A fast paced ride that celebrates the power of sisterhood.”
In 1977 Philadelphia, when wannabe lounge singer Deloris Van Cartier (Gigi Cabanting & Leianna Santos) witness a murder by her gangster boyfriend (Turner Alston) and his thugs (Ethan Berry, Richard Hernandez-Bustos, Logan Ortogero, Wolf Pell, & Coaster Vine), the detective (Wolf Pell & Coaster Vines) places her in a nunnery run by Mother Superior (Catherine Hampe & Ruby Mackie) and her Monsignor (Weston Otterson).
In the madcap romp that ensues, while Deloris loosens up the nuns (featuring Nikki Kays, Aviva Meisel, Rylee Stout, and Aurora Zoetewey) – and tightens up their singing, the nuns forge a bond with Deloris that allows each to see the strength, love, and humanity in the other.
The showʻs Director/Choreographer David Ward trains a cast of 32 amazing students in the funk, soul, and disco moves of his youth. “Having grown up in the 1970s, this whole era was a big part of my young life. Itʻs super fun to revisit the height of the disco age through the music and dance in this musical.”
Vocal Director Julia Golding coaches the singers in the style and dynamics of the period. “I'm so excited by the level of talented voices we have in this cast: a fabulous ensemble with incredible leads. Together we are making a JOYFUL NOISE!”
Costume designers Andre Morissette and Vanessa Cerrito are delighted to provide the fantastic period costumes. Todd Van Amburgh designs the sets and lighting.
Donʻt miss this fabulously fun glorious musical comedy with a stellar cast, crew, and artistic team of over 40 students and faculty. Two weekends only!
