The Divine Sister

Evoking such films as The Song of Bernadette, The Bells of St. Mary's, The Singing Nun and Agnes of God, The Divine Sister tells the story of St. Veronica's indomitable Mother Superior (played by Joe Bailey) who is determined to build a new school for her Pittsburgh convent. Along the way, she has to deal with a young postulant who is experiencing "visions," sexual hysteria among her nuns, a sensitive schoolboy in need of mentoring, a mysterious nun visiting from the Mother House in Berlin, and a former suitor intent on luring her away from her vows. This madcap trip through Hollywood religiosity evokes the wildly comic but affectionately observed theatrical style of the creator of Die! Mommie! Die! and Psycho Beach Party.

The Divine Sister opens Friday, May 11, and plays through Monday, June 4. Showtimes are 8pm on Friday, Saturday, and Monday evenings with 3pm matinees on Sunday afternoons.

Ticket prices are $20 on Friday and Saturday nights, $15 on Sunday afternoons, and Monday night tickets are HALF OFF the original ticket price at only $10 a ticket! Box office opens 45 minutes before showtime and Cash, Visa/Mastercard are accepted.
