Aloha Theatre Brings Heavenly Hilarity to the Stage with Nunsense

Kainaliu, Hawaiʻi — Aloha Theatre closes out its 2026 mainstage season with Nunsense, Dan Goggin’s cheeky and delightfully chaotic musical comedy running November 20 through December 6.

When the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their convent cook has accidentally poisoned 52 of their fellow sisters, they find themselves facing an unusual problem: they need money to bury the deceased nuns. Their solution? Put on a variety show.

What could possibly go wrong?

Plenty.

With songs, dancing, comedy, audience interaction, and more than a little convent mischief, Nunsense follows five very different sisters as they scramble to pull together an unforgettable evening of entertainment. From the ambitious Mother Superior to a novice determined to become the first ballerina nun, the Little Sisters of Hoboken prove that even the most unexpected circumstances can bring out the best—and funniest—in a group of determined women.

At the center of the chaos is Reverend Mother, played by Jackie Baldwin (9 to 5), who is doing her best to keep the sisters, and the show, under control. Jessica Wright (Rocky Horror Show) plays Sister Hubert, who must check her ambition at every turn. Ryan Leinbach (Winter Wonderettes) takes on the irrepressible and street wise Sister Robert Anne, Megan Garcia (Seussical) plays novice Sister Mary Leo, who is determined to prove her dancing credentials, and Tessa Blair (Spamalot, Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time) plays the delightfully absent-minded Sister Mary Amnesia.

Together, the five performers bring these larger-than-life characters to the stage in a production packed with personality, physical comedy, musical numbers, and plenty of surprises.

Directed for Aloha Theatre’s final mainstage production of 2026, Nunsense offers audiences a lighthearted way to wrap up the theatre’s season. Whether you're a longtime fan of musical comedy or simply looking for an evening of laughs, this unconventional convent is ready to welcome you with open arms (and perhaps a collection plate or two).

Nunsense performs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2:30 PM, November 20 through December 6, at Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu.

Tickets are available at alohatheatre.com or by calling (808) 322-9924.
