If
you love The Nutcracker, then you will really love the Nuncrackers,
the holiday dancing treat that landed in Griffin just in time
to launch the Yuletide season.
The
Main Street Players presented the funniest Nunsense play yetÑNuncrackersÑa
musical spoof of the classic ballet of (almost) the same name.
The holiday show-within-a-show spoofs the annual Christmas ballet
danced by the nuns of the whimsical Mount Saint Helen's Convent
in beautiful downtown Hoboken, NJ
The nutty nuns are warming up for their first televised dance
special, taped in "front of a live studio audience." However,
as air time approaches, things go hopelessly awry backstageÑholiday
gifts are stolen, Sister Mary Leo twists her best ankle and
Father Virgil is forced to replace Sister Julia, Child of God,
in a cooking segment that devolves into a rum-soaked slapstick
romp.
Hilarious
antics ensue as the cast and members of the convent (and the
audience) learn the "true" meaning of Christmas
The show includes the traditional carols, plus some new Christmas
spoofs including Here We Come-a-Waffle-ing and Santa's
Little Teapot. The show is filled with typical Nunsense
humor, including a Secret Santa audience/participation game.
It's a perfect way to guarantee that your holiday season will
be merry and bright!
