Sister Act Reunion Press Release
Sister Act Reunion Cocktail
Every Thursday New Stage will release a Virtual Play Reading or a New Stage Dialogue. The plays will be original new works presented as part of the Eudora Welty New Plays Series or Mississippi themed plays for the Mississippi Play Series. The New Stage Dialogue will include conversations with New Stage artists and community partners on a variety of topics in relation to New Stage productions.

We’ll also share a signature cocktail recipe that connects to the evening’s play or topic. These will all be ONLINE events.

“When we produced Sister Act as the closing show in our 53rd Season, I remember it being a very enjoyable time at New Stage,” said Artistic Director Francine Thomas Reynolds. “The work was hard, but the atmosphere was fun. I look forward to hearing the voices of the company again. Our virtual NST Dialogue Raising Our Voices: Sister Act Reunion is the perfect joyful alternative to the pandemic blues.”
Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy smash that tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship.
