Sister Act – A Musical Celebration of Joy and Community
Northern Lakes Arts Association presents Sister Act, the feel-good musical comedy that will have you clapping along and laughing out loud.
Join us for this heartwarming story of Deloris Van Cartier, a nightclub singer who unexpectedly finds herself in witness protection at a convent. With her vivacious personality and incredible voice, Deloris transforms the convent’s struggling choir into a soulful sensation, building an unbreakable sisterhood along the way. Featuring a vibrant score by Alan Menken, Sister Act is a celebration of music, friendship, and the joy of lifting one another up.
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim have masterfully woven together beloved storybook characters in a timeless yet relevant creation, a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are not only enchanting but also deeply touching.
The narrative unfolds with a Baker and his wife, their fervent wish for a child, Cinderella yearning to attend the King's Festival, and Jack, who hopes for his cow to produce milk. However, when the Baker and his wife discover that they cannot have a child due to a Witch's curse, their journey to break the curse begins. As each character's wishes are granted, the consequences of their actions return to haunt them, leading to disastrous results.
The final reprise of "Into the Woods" serves as a poignant reminder that in life, we all must embark on our own journeys, but it's crucial to heed the lessons of the past and consider the future.
