2011-2012 Season
Nunsense II, by Dan Goggin
The Little Sisters of Hoboken, those humble nuns with a touch of show biz flair, return in style with Nunsense II: The Secomd Coming. Presenting a high-spirited and zany "Thank You Program" for their many supporters, the sisters sing and dance their way across the Mount St. Helen's stage, which is already dressed for the Hoboken Music Society's upcoming production of The Mikado. Musical numbers include "Winning Is Just the Beginning," "There's Only One Way To End Your Prayers," "What Would Elvis Do?," "The Padre Polka," and "A Hat and Cane Song."
"An excellent evening of theater... Nunsense II is fine family entertainment with lots of laughs!" - Terry T. Brown, The Oakland Press
"This could be the second coming we've all been waiting for...the sisters are back and armed with zany songs, stories and, of course, more habit humor." - Shirley Lemon , The Muskegon Chronicle
"You can't keep a good nun, let alone an entire stagestruck convent, down...delicious humor" - Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Reader
"A whole lot of lighthearted nonsense...boisterous and fun" - Patricia McAlpine, The Sun Chronicle
"Snappy and silly...pacing is one of the things that makes Nunsense the crowd-pleaser it is. If a particular joke or tune doesn't just grab you, hold on for a split second and the sisters will be off in another direction." - Janine Dallas Steffan, The Seattle Times
"An evening of guffaws and irreverent but playful humor...a hoot and well worth seeing!" - Laura Voeth, The Tolucan Times
"This high-energy show, which is a sequel to Nunsense, will have you roaring with laughter...hilarious...you won't stop laughing all night long." - Tony Annicone, The Theater Mirror
You Can’t Take It With You, by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
The family of Martin Vanderhof lives “just around the corner from Columbia University — but don’t go looking for it.” Grandpa, as Martin is more commonly known, is the paterfamilias of a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. His granddaughter, Alice, is an attractive and loving girl who is still embarrassed by her family’s idiosyncrasies. When Alice falls for her boss, Tony, a handsome scion of Wall Street, she fears that their two families – so unlike in manner, politics and finances – will never come together. But why be obsessed by money? After all, you can’t take it with you...
“Naïveté is this show’s oxygen and its strongest selling point, and Hart and Kaufman conjured it with master craftsmen’s shrewdness. A portrait of tax-dodging, rule-defying, work-evading, goodhearted folk who live only to please themselves and suffer no serious consequences, You Can’t Take It With You is one of the most persuasive works of pure escapism in Broadway history.” – The New York Times
