Meshuggah-Nuns! The Ecumenical Nunsense 5 Written by Dan Goggin Directed by Sheila Diehm October 20-22 & 27-29, 2006 Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 2:00 pm Outer Banks Music Showcase, Kitty Hawk

The Little Sisters of Hoboken are at it again, and this time the fun-loving nuns are on an all-expense-paid trip on the "Faiths of All Nations" Cruise. The ship has run into a terrible storm that has lasted nearly a week and most of the people have become seasick, including the entertainers - the cast of "Fiddler on the Roof." All except the Jewish actor Howard Liszt who was playing "Tevye", that is. 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!"
