The nuns are coming, the nuns are coming! Aloha Performing Arts Company has finalized the cast of it next production, Dan Goggin's zany musical comedy "Nunsense," and rehearsals are well underway. The premise: a group of nuns with no stage experience must put on a variety show to make money, in order to bury several members of their order who died of botulism, accidentally poisoned by the cooking of Sister Julia, Child of God. They sing, dance, operate puppets, tell jokes, and even engage the audience in an actual game of Bingo, all in an effort to raise the funds to inter the dead sisters, who are being kept in the freezer.
