Runs Feb. 2-4 and Feb. 9-11 Five experienced actresses to star in Globe's Nunsense at the Music Hall Nunsense, a musical comedy with book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin is the second show in Georgetown Globe Productions' 2005/2006 season and opens next week at the Globe Music Hall in Norval, February 2-4 and Feb. 9-11. The five nuns in the show are raising money to bury the last four of their sisters who died from eating vichyssoise soup prepared by Sister Julia, Child of God. These remaining five nuns were out playing bingo and escaped the wrath of Sister Julia's soup. Their ensuing antics punctuated with a little "convent humour" will have you virtually rolling in the aisles with laughter. What a great way to spend an evening shaking off those winter blues. This production features a talented cast of five ladies: Pat Brown, a 35-year veteran of community theatre, comes to us from Mississauga to reprise one of her beloved roles as Mother Superior. Brown is a retired principal with the DufferinPeel Board so she knows what being a leader is about. Sharon Nimmo, fresh from her successful role as Rose in Gypsy with Brampton Music Theatre brings a voice as big as all outdoors to the role of Sister Mary Hubert. Nimmo is relatively new to musical theatre but seeing her perform on stage, you'd never know it. When not in the Abbey, Sharon is a medical secretary at Humber College. Cheyenne Harvey, last seen with Globe on stage as Ollie in last year's production of City of Angels for which she won an ACTCO THEA for Best Actress in a Musical, brings her unique talents to the role of Sister Robert Anne, the tough streetwise nun who has a heart of gold. Harvey, whose middle name is theatre, works with the Brampton Theatre. From Anna of The King and I fame to Sister Amnesia in this production, Deb Tilson is at home either in front of a piano or on stage or conducting an orchestra. Sister Amnesia had a crucifix fall on her head, hence her amnesia. Little does she know it, she holds the key to the show's happy ending. Currently, Tilson is a private music teacher. Rounding out this talented cast is Alexandra Jones playing the role of the young novice, Sister Mary Leo. Jones brings her ballet skills to the role and dancing on pointe is a breeze for her. Jones is a vocal major at Cawthra Park Secondary School for the Arts and has been performing on stage since she was three years old. Putting this hilarious show together are Elizabeth Bell, director and choreographer, and Haden Heathcock, musical director. Don't miss this blessed event. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased by calling the John Elliott Theatre's Box Office, 905-877-3700. --By Alison Salinas, Globe
