The musical comedy Nunsense is coming back to Scranton on April 18 and 19, with performances at the People’s Security Theater on the campus of Lackawanna College. Our Cabaret Productions is once again partnering with the college for the event, which serves as a fundraiser to support student success.

About the Show

Nunsense, with book, music, and lyrics by Dan Goggin, follows the comedic misadventures of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. It’s a well-loved staple of the musical theater world, and this production brings together a cast of experienced performers.

The cast includes:

• Rob Misko as Rev. Mother
• John Baldino as Sr. Mary Hubert
• Laura Lockwood as Sr. Mary Leo
• Christine McGeachie as Sr. Mary Amnesia
• Courtney Rosenkrans as Sr. Robert Anne

The show is produced by Baldino and directed by Misko, with tap choreography by Ballroom ONE Dance Company of Eynon. It is produced through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals, New York.

A Fundraiser with Real Results

For the team behind it, Nunsense is as much about the college as it is about the performance.

“Last year we raised more than $16,000 to empower the mission of Lackawanna College. We are delighted to return this year to build on that success and continue to delight local audiences. The People’s Security Theater at Lackawanna College is a special gem in a city so rich in theater history and Nunsense is a gem of a show in the musical theater world. Bringing them together will be a tremendous experience for faculty, students, staff, supporters of the college, and theater-goers all over northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Baldino, Our Cabaret Productions executive producer and an assistant professor at Lackawanna.

The sentiment is shared by Misko, who has a long personal history with the show.

“I have had a love affair with Nunsense since I first saw the off-Broadway production in 1985,” said Misko, who directed the first non-Equity production of Nunsense in the world in Carbondale and has performed as Rev. Mother more than 150 times. “And it’s always special to direct and perform in the show. To mount a Nunsense production alongside my closest friends in a space like the People’s Security Theater all while supporting higher education is a dream come true.”
