[June 21, 2023]    Lincoln Community Theatre (LCT) opens its 2023 season on Thursday with the musical comedy Nunsense. Directed by Tim Searby, Nunsense stars Nancy Nickerson as Mother Superior, Kim Peterson-Quinn as Sister Mary Hubert, Lauren DeJarnette as Sister Robert Anne, Julie King as Sister Mary Amnesia, and Claire Conrady as Sister Mary Leo.

Crew include pianist Kay Dobson, choreographer Audra Turley, costume mistress Lisa Kuhlman, stage manager and props mistress Jill Voyles, and stage designer and builder Jeff Prince. Nunsense will also feature a live orchestra.

The LCT website describes Nunsense as “a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed. With catchy songs and irreverent comedy, Nunsense is sure to keep audiences rolling with laughter.”
