When it snows on a May day in Indiana, Sister Columba, an elderly rheumatic nun, asks St. Joseph to take her where the weather is warm. St. Joseph takes her, the convent, and six other nuns who happen to be in the convent at the moment, to the warm sands of Nevada—just outside of Las Vegas.

St. Joseph, and the nuns have a startling effect on Las Vegas. This bustling resort town gives up gambling and takes up contemplation; the Bible becomes a best seller; a mission priest is the rage of the nightclub crowd; and three dancing girls from the Silver Dollar, Peaches, Boots, and Baby, decide to take the veil.

However, the nuns have their problems. There is real-estate difficulty because they own the convent but not the ground it sits on.

Peaches, Boots and Baby teach one of the sisters a dance routine, and finally the sister in charge finds herself offering to “place a small bet.”

St. Joseph and the nuns realize they had better go home, so St. Joseph returns the convent and its occupants to Indiana—including the proprietor of the Silver Dollar and the Board of Directors of the Amalgamated Night Clubs.

The Sisters are played by Donna Cohen, Jessica LaCour, Gladys Hughes, Bonnie Hughes, Debbie Craig, Liz Flynt, Sheila Hansen, and Annette Lestremau.

Come see the twist and turns of the sisters as the play unfolds. Call Donna for Reservations at (601)347-6883 or pick up tickets at Family Furniture.
