WPPAC – Sister Act GIVEAWAY!

Posted on December 16, 2016 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Contests, Things to Do!, Uncategorized .
This weekend is opening weekend for Sister Act at White Plains Performing Arts Center! 
We visited WPPAC last year for their performance of  Disney’s Tarzan
and we had a fantastic time! (Read our Review here!) We are thrilled to have been invited back to see this years production of Sister Act! We will be attending this Saturday nights show, and will be sure to report back on our experience.  Stay tuned!

A Divine Musical Comedy! Sister Act
Dec 16- Jan 8
 

A woman hiding in a convent helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she rediscovers her own. This feel-good comedy smash is based on the hit film.

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a crime, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover.

Filled with powerful gospel and disco music by Alan Menken (Beauty & the beast, Newsies, Aladdin), outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE and a great show for the whole family this holiday season! 
** WPPAC recommends the show for children 7 years and older.
