Sister Act

Wed 9 – Sat 12 Apr | 7.30pm | 2.30pm Matinee (Sat only) | £20 | £18 (Wed only)

Following the success of their recent shows, ‘Oklahoma’ and ‘Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’, Banbridge Musical Society presents ‘Sister Act’.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!

Presented by one of Northern Ireland’s leading amateur theatre groups.

Music by Alan Menken | Lyrics by Glenn Slater | Book by Cheri Steinkellner & Bill Steinkellner | Additional Book Material Douglas Carter Beane

Based on the Touchstone Pictures Motion Picture ‘Sister Act’ written by Joseph Howard. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.mtishows.co.uk
