  • Sister Mary Hubert, Mistress of the Novices – The second in command, she is always competing with the Mother Superior.
  • Sister Robert Anne – A streetwise tough character from Brooklyn. A constant source of aggravation for the Mother Superior.
  • Sister Mary Amnesia – This nun lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head. She is very sweet.
  • Sister Mary Leo – The novice, who has entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun ballerina.

Nunsense, written by Dan Goggin, will be directed by Dennis Yslas, with music direction by Kevin Keil, and choreography by Suzanne Toller.
