STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Theatre at Tarleton presents the hilarious musical “Sister Act,” running Wednesday, Feb. 20, through Saturday, Feb 2,3 in the auditorium of the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center in Stephenville.<\/p>\n
Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 for senior citizens, children, and faculty and staff; and $5 for Tarleton students. The box office will be open from 2 – 6 p.m. weekdays through the run of the show. For tickets, call 254-968-9634.<\/p>\n

The production is based on the hit 1992 film of the same name starring Whoopi Goldberg with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater.<\/p>\n
The plot follows a Philadelphia lounge singer named Deloris Van Cartier, played in the Tarleton production by Jordan Hopkins, who witnesses her mobster boyfriend killing an employee.<\/p>\n
Deloris is hidden in a convent under a witness protection program where she makes friends with the nuns. After being caught going out to a bar, Mother Superior, played by Ellen Houlden, orders Deloris to join the church choir, only to find her coaching the singers and updating their sound.<\/p>\n
The choir proves to be a big success with the surrounding neighborhood, but opens the door on Deloris’ whereabouts being discovered.<\/p>\n
The production is directed by Tarleton associate professor of theatre Carol Stavish, who also serves as set designer.<\/p>\n
“We welcome all to join in the joyous fun,” Stavish said, “and I know you will depart tapping your toes, humming the tunes and blessing yourself that you attended such an exuberant and delightful production.”<\/p>\n
