KAYSVILLE – The Hope Box Theatre will kick off its regular season with the opening of “Nunsense” Feb. 12. Performances run 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays through Feb. 27 with 2 p.m. matinees on Feb. 20 and 27.

The show begins after a catastrophic meal at the convent results with 52 of the sisters dying of botulism. After burying 48 of the sisters, Reverend Mother buys a plasma television, which leaves them without enough money to bury the last four dead sisters, whose bodies are kept in the convent freezer. To make up for her mistake, she puts on a variety show to help raise funds to get the frozen nuns buried before the health inspector arrives. The Reverend Mother gets the best of what’s left of the nuns to put on a show filled with zany songs, dances and puppetry. Plus, there’s an interactive quiz for the audience along with prizes that won’t disappoint.

WHAT: “Nunsense”

WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays, Feb. 12-27; also 2 p.m. Feb. 20 and 27.

The show is directed by Ryan Bruckman, with Allisha Larsen, Jessica DeBoer, Marsha Holmes, Alisha Hall and Janna Bluth playing the zany but faithful nuns. Choreography is by Stephanie Bruckman.

Brandon Stauffer, marketing director for Hope Box, said this show brings in a new creative team along with new ideas about how to use the space with “creative eyes.”

This is the second year for Hope Box and its unique mission. Part of the proceeds of the show will go to a family affected by cancer. Stauffer said the combination of a great show, with lots of music and dancing combined with the cause, are good reasons to see the show. “This show is memorable. It’s full of comedy and amazing voices that will leave you wanting to see more,” Stauffer said.

The show is dedicated to Alan Blood, who is suffering from stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Blood underwent hormone therapy after being diagnosed in 2011 and thought he was cancer free until fall 2015, when the cancer was back, but much more aggressive. Blood is determined to beat the cancer, but the battle has been uphill not only for his health, but with his insurance company, which he has fought with to cover some of the aggressive treatments he is going through.
