Nyack Village Theatre presents "SIster Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You"

Nyack Village Theatre Presents.... "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You" by Christopher Durang directed by Michael Willows Sister Mary Ignatius.  A teaching nun who is much concerned with sin in all of its various forms, delivers a cautionary lecture to her charges. One of them, a precocious little girl named Alice, can quote the Ten Commandments on cue, and each time she does so Sister Mary rewards him with a cookie. But when several of her former students turn up the picture darkens, along with Sister Mary's indignation. One of them is the happy mother of an illegitimate child; another a contented homosexual; still another has had two abortions--the first after having been raped on the night of her mother's death; while another student, now an alcoholic, contemplates suicide. Their stories are disturbing--but also very funny--and it is quickly apparent that one thing they all have in common is their loathing for Sister Mary and the unyielding dogma which she forced on them in their formative years. In the end there is mayhem and bloodshed but, with this, the unsettling feeling that, amid the laughter, some devastating truths have been told. Starring: Samantha Feig, Bridget Emsworth, Samantha Dubbiosi, Melissa Carroll, Sean Mundy, Marisa Gore.
