Take a not-so-veiled look under the habit in this twisted, madcap comic homage to nearly every Hollywood ‘nun film’ ever made!  

The Convent at St. Veronica’s of Pittsburgh desperately needs a new school. Mother Superior is determined to get it built, but first she must deal with a host of colorful, hilarious characters that stand in her way.

Starring members of the original New York cast!
By Charles Busch
Directed by Carl Andress
