Nunsense-The Mega Musical Returns to the Stage Tonight
The cast of Nunsense-The Mega Musical is back on the stage tonight at Argos High School. Director Becky Liechty said that she has sat through all of the rehearsals and she still has a good time watching and laughing as the actors bring the characters to life in this musical comedy.
Liechty gives us a quick review of the musical.
“Sister Julia, Child of God, is the convent cook and she has made some vichyssoise soup which turns out to be poisonous. 52 sisters die. Believe it or not, this is a comedy…it really is funny. They bury 48 of the 52 sisters and then Reverend Mother buys a Plasma TV for the convent thinking there’s enough money to bury the last four and there isn’t. Now they’re putting on this fundraiser which makes it a show within a show so they can raise the money to bury the rest of the dead sisters. It’s a really funny show.”

Maxinkuckee Players 2011 Summer Production and Road Schedule Announced
The Maxinkuckee Players 2011 production is Nunsense-The Mega-Musical and it will be performed on the stage of the North Judson-San Pierre High School auditorium for two performances, Saturday and Sunday, August 13th and 14th. This will be the first Maxinkuckee Players performance on a Starke County stage.
After nearly 30 years of shows on the high school auditorium stage in Culver, this year the Players will present their shows in Argos, in Bremen and in Culver as well as in North Judson. Summer construction work at the Culver site lead to the road production schedule. Some years ago, the annual show was moved to Argos due to construction work at the Culver auditorium.
