The production is directed by Michael Manley of Sacramento, Musical Direction by Karen Balabanian of Vallejo and Choreography by Maryse Young of Walnut Creek. Performers include Elizabeth Mitchell, of Santa Fe, NM, as Sister Mary Paul (Amnesia), Vicki Reza of American Canyon, as Sister Mary Regina, Jeannine Perasso-Kaczmarczyk of Martinez, as Sister Robert Anne and Adele Margrave of Vallejo, as Sister Mary Hubert (the Little Sisters of Hoboken) with Robert Wilson of Vallejo as Howard Liszt, the professional actor who plays the role of Tevye in the play-within-a-play.

“Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical” is over and the Kunkels (the poor family that lives behind Mount St. Helen’s School) have won the lottery. Although they had given their lottery ticket to the Sisters in exchange for some gifts, when it was discovered that the ticket was a winner, the Sisters returned it to the Kunkels. In appreciation the Kunkels have given the Sisters an all-expense-paid trip on the “Faiths of All Nations” Cruise.

After a week at sea the ship runs into a storm and several people become ill, including all of the entertainers: the cast of “Fiddler on the Roof.” All except the actor playing Tevye, that is. The Captain of the ship, knowing of the Sisters’ show biz savvy, requests that the Sisters and Tevye put on a revue. The results: “Meshuggah-Nuns! The Ecumenical Nunsense.”
