"Nunsense" is the story of five nuns of the Little Sisters of Hoboken who are staging a variety show. Fifty-two residents of the convent were accidentally killed when their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, served them tainted vichyssoise while some of the nuns were away playing bingo. Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burial. The cards were a success, but the purchase of an entertainment center for the convent left them short of the funds needed to bury the final four sisters. With the deceased nuns on ice in the deep freeze, they decide to stage a variety show in the Mount Saint Helen's School auditorium to raise the necessary amount. Participating in the project are Mother Superior Mary Regina, a former circus performer who can not resist the spotlight; her competitive but dignified rival, second-in-command Sister Mary Hubert; Sister Robert Anne, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is determined to be the world's first ballerina nun; and wacky, childlike Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

Center Stage Youth Performers (CSYP)

CSYP is a non-profit charitable organization that provides an educational forum for children to learn musical theater skills. The organization's goal is to help youth develop their talents, self-esteem and imagination in a fun, safe and stimulating environment through rehearsals, performances and classes.

This year, over 2,500 children will be exposed to the magic of musical theater through a CSYP program. They will be audience members, participants in workshops and classes, and performers in live productions.

CSYP was founded to provide children from all racial, economic and social backgrounds a place where they can develop individual talents while being a vital part of a group. Any child who has an interest in or passion for any element of musical theater is welcomed through our doors.

Youth come to CSYP in search of an outlet for their unique talents. Some are already aware of their talents, but lack the means (financial or otherwise) to nurture their skills and take them even further. Others, may have the financial means, but haven't found a place to explore their own talents. Some are simply looking for something creative and fun to do in their after-school hours.

Since CSYP is an educational forum, we offer our programs on a first come, first serve basis - not by audition only. In addition, we offer tuition trades and discounts for youth and families needing a financial break and for multiple family members. By doing so, we have opened the doors to youth who may not have otherwise been able to participate in our program.
