First Federal Bank and the Paris Area Arts Alliance have

Storyline ~
The Sisters are on an all-expense-paid trip on the "Faiths
of All Nations" Cruise when the ship runs into a terrible
storm. Many people become seasick including the entertainers
- the cast of Fiddler On The Roof -
all except "Tevye". The ship's captain, knowing
of the Sisters' show-business savvy, requests that the Sisters
and Tevye put on an original revue. The result: MESHUGGAH-NUNS!

done them all!
Deann Lee
Sister Hubert, Mistress of Novices, wanted to be
a nun all her life. She is the most grounded of the
nuns and second in command to the Reverend Mother.
She and the Rev. Mother have a healthy and humerous
rivalry.
Lara Townsdin
Sister Mary Paul (a.k.a. Amnesia) was hit on the
head with a crucifix and for a long period didn't remember
who she was. Now everyone knows she is Sister Mary
Paul, a country singer who jump-started her recording
career by being the first nun to appear at the Grand
Ole Opry.
Kaelee Abbey
Sister Robert Anne is a streetwise nun from Brooklyn,
New York. She is fearless and tough but has a heart
and soul of gold. She has a good belt and head voice
and feels that she has real theatrical potential. She
is constantly frustrated by Rev. Mother's refusal to
let her star in the show.
Shelley Philpot
Sister Mary Regina (Reverend Mother) is the Mother
Superior of the
Little Sisters of Hoboken. She tries to be strict and
maintain order, but things often get
out of her control. She grew up in an Irish circus
family and was a
tightrope walker.
Ken Norris
Howard Liszt is a professional actor and singer who
was to appear as Tevye in the ship's production of
Fiddler on the Roof. Very charming and charismatic,
he has an ability to relate to the audience as a standup
comic. Although he has been in show business for many
years, he has had limited contact with real show business
nuns.
