A terrible

tragedy has occurred to The Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, or

the "Little Hobos" as they are affectionately known.

A severe case

of botulism from a bad batch of vichysoisse killed 52 of the nuns at the

convent, all but four of whom were buried properly. The remaining sisters

are conducting a fund-raiser with singing and dancing to raise funds to

give them a proper burial.

That is the

plot of "Nunsense," which will be presented by Fayette Players

and Community Theatre Inc. in the Black Box Theater at McIntosh High School,

Friday and Saturdays, March 8-16 at 8 p.m. The cast is made up of the

Henry Players, who have performed this show a number of times.

Most recently

the musical nuns from Henry County raised money for the Henry Medical

Center with six shows. Proceeds from the shows at McIntosh will benefit

both the Henry Medical Center and the Fayette Players and Community Theatre

Inc.'s building of a theater.

The nuns that

present the rollicking fund-raiser are Sister Mary Regina, the mother

superior whose bark is worse than her bite; Sister Mary Hubert, a dignified

yet fun-loving nun; Sister Robert Anne, a tough talking, streetwise nun;

Sister Mary Amnesia, an innocent; and Sister Mary Leo, a professional

dancer.

"Nunsense"

has entertained audiences since 1985. The show features lots of comedy

and entertainment and is a good time for the whole family. Tickets are

$10 for adults and $8 for students. There will be ticket specials for

the first weekend. Adults buying two tickets will get the second ticket

half off and students presenting ientification will get $5 admission.
