Publisher's Summary

A crumbling convent school is on the verge of insolvency, when a young postulant begins to display strange heavenly powers. And when a dashing film executive arrives to buy the rights to her story, the Reverend Mother refuses to put profits over prayer. Playwright Charles Busch made his name with genre-skewering hits like Psycho Beach Party, Die Mommie Die, and The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, which L.A. Theatre Works recorded in 2007. This time around, we present Busch's high-voltage spoof of religious melodramas, starring three of the principal players from its original 2010 Off-Broadway run.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:

Emily Bergl as Agnes, Charles Busch as Mother Superior, Maxwell Caulfield as Jeremy/Brother Venerius, Alison Fraser as Sister Walburga/Mrs. MacDuffie,Julie Halston as Sister Acacius/Juliet Mills/ Mrs. Levinson⁄Timothy

Directed by Carl Andress. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience.

A screamingly, clever and loving tribute to those who love “Nun Movies”

Bawdy in the best way and also touching and nostalgic. The cast is excellent but Charles Busch and Julie Halston are a sublime comedic dour. I say it in the Lower East Side before it transferred to off Broadway and it’s a cherished memory.
