Sister Act at Circle Theatre

Sister Act brings the beloved 1992 film to life as a vibrant musical comedy on stage. This feel-good show follows Deloris Van Cartier, a disco performer who ends up hiding in a convent for protection after witnessing a crime. Dressed as a nun and at odds with the strict Mother Superior, Deloris uses her talent and energy to transform the church choir—and in the process, discovers an unexpected found family. The production features original music by Alan Menken, the acclaimed composer behind Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Shop of Horrors, and earned five Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical. The show runs about two and a half hours with an intermission built in, making it manageable for families. It's rated PG, so it's accessible for a wide range of ages. If your family enjoys uplifting stories with great music, humor, and heart, this is a wonderful choice. The production runs through mid-September at Circle Theatre, so there are multiple opportunities to catch this entertaining show.
