Based on the 1992 movie starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act, according to press notes, “follows Philadelphia nightclub performer Deloris as she hides from her gangster boyfriend, Curtis Jackson, after he disposes of a supposed informant. Hiding out at the convent, Deloris is hopelessly bored, but is maneuvered by the mother superior to take over the choir and help with their musicality. The choir becomes an instant hit, garnering huge donations which shore up the shaky financial status of the church.”

The production crew includes Ken Clifton (music director), Peter Barbieri (scenic designer), Gail Baldoni (costume designer), Jack Mehler (lighting designer), Craig Beyrooti (sound designer), Amy M. Bertacini (production stage manager) and Rebekah Church (assistant production stage manager). Casting was done by Brian Kurtas, CSA.
