Seventy-three students in grades 7-12 performed in this year’s spring musical, Sister Act at the Palace Theater on Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25.
Sister Act (based on the 1992 film) follows disco diva Deloris Van Cartier (Karly Brown-Glavin), who witnesses a murder and gets placed into protective custody in the one place. Officer Eddie Souther (Matthew Craybas) knows she would never be found: in a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with the rigid nun lifestyle and the uptight Mother Superior (Gigi Homik). Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, she breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.
