COMING IN APRIL!
MUSICAL COMEDY SENSATION NUNSENSE!
Middlebury Community Players is excited to announce our Spring 2026 production, Nunsense, by Don Goggin, to be performed at Town Hall Theater April 24 through May 3, 2026. The production is being directed by Peter Kristoph with music direction by Annette Franklin and choreography by Kendra Gratton, who’s also serving as assistant director. Dora Greven is stage managing, assisted by Meg Kennedy, and Kush Sharma is producing, mentored by Mary Longey.
The cast includes Avery Cutroni, Christina Dewar, Michelle Fico, Maggie Gates, and Jillian Torres
“Nunsense” features five good-hearted, well-intentioned female characters who just happen to be nuns! When 52 sisters are accidentally poisoned by the convent’s cook, the remaining five nuns of the Little Sisters of Hoboken put on a musical revue to raise money for the funerals of four still-unburied sisters. Highlighting their “secret talents” from their pre-convent lives, they sing, dance, and entertain their way through a series of vaudeville-like numbers, often with great comic effect.
Tickets will go on sale at the end of March. Details forthcoming!
OUR MOST RECENT PRODUCTION
MOON OVER BUFFALO!
Moon over Buffalo is a madcap play about a pair of aging traveling actors, George and Charlotte Hay, who are touring with two plays in Buffalo, New York. Their lives are thrown into chaos when they learn that a famous director, Frank Capra, might see their matinee performance and cast them in a movie remake of “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” The play is filled with mistaken identities, family drama, and theatrical mishap.
Performances were February 19-22 at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury.
