BCLUW drama department to present "Sister Act"

An aspiring singer walks in on her boyfriend committing a grisly nightclub murder. While the police investigate, she goes into witness protection at a local convent against the initial wishes of the head nun. Chaos, hilarity and friendship ensue in “Sister Act,” the fall musical at BCLUW, which will be performed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the high school auditorium.
           
The musical is based on the 1992 film of the same name starring Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Keitel and Maggie Smith, and according to director Jackie Stevens, it was much more of a challenge for the cast than last year’s production of “The Wizard of Oz.”
           
“It’s a very difficult show for us to put on because first of all, none of this music is familiar to them at all, so it’s been a challenge in that respect,” she said.
           
Musical selections in the show include “Take Me to Heaven,” “Bless Our Show,” “Sunday Morning Fever,” and the closer “Spread the Love Around.” Lead characters Summer Kramer, who plays Deloris, and Storm Wiseman, who plays Curtis, donned colorful disco era outfits during an interview on Monday night, and they enjoyed diving into the fashions of a bygone era in American musical history.
