La Mare de Carteret High Presents - Sister Act Jr.

Based on the hit film of the same name, Sister Act JR. features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, a book by Cheri and Bill Steinkellner, and additional book material by Douglas Carter Beane. The show opened on the West End in 2009, and a revised adaptation opened on Broadway in 2011 which received multiple Tony nominations, including “Best Musical.”

Though Deloris Van Cartier, a sleezy club singer, is forced into the convent under witness protection, she quickly finds her place in the women’s choir. While Deloris does not share the faith and modesty of her fellow nuns, her newfound community of sisters offers her friendship and fellowship, and, in turn, Deloris teaches each woman how to raise her voice in beautiful praise. The choir’s new sound proves a big draw, attracting new worshippers at church services, sorely-needed donations, and community attention.

Deloris finds herself in grave danger when her cover is blown, but her ‘sisters’ come to the rescue and the opposing worlds of the night club and the nunnery become inextricably and beautifully interwoven.
