concept originated as a line of greeting cards featuring a nun offering tart quips with a clerical slant. The cards caught on so quickly that Goggin decided to expand the concept into a cabaret show called The Nunsense Story

Tracy Notes About This Show

In addition to the requisite nun habits available for rental, we offer the DYING NUN HAT and SR MARIE ANNETTE, a hand puppet who figures prominently in the story.

We have listed Cream Blush makeup in our recommended Finishing Touches for this show.

Now, we do know that nuns don't wear makeup, but to give them a healthy look onstage, use either Bronze blush light or dark, depending on skin color.

Use it sparingly, and use the same color on both cheeks and lips - it will look more natural that way

Plot Synopsis

St. Helen's are putting on to raise enough money to bury the sisters that were accidentally poisoned from the vichyssoise soup prepared by the convent cook.

And by the way...

The answer to our very most frequently asked question is - NO!!!

The question is: Do you have a minimum order or do we have to rent a whole show?

We believe you should be able to order one hat, two props, an entire show, or anything in between - it's one of your basic theatrical freedoms.
