Two-time Emmy Award winner Sally Struthers will star as Mother Superior in the 25th Anniversary national tour of Dan Goggin’s Nunsense, to kick off September 16 at the Mother Lode Theatre in Butte, MT, with dates scheduled through January 2009.


The musical follows a fictitious order of merry nuns, the “Little Sisters of Hoboken,” as they put on a fund-raising show at their school, Mt. St. Helens. The original production of Nunsense debuted as a cabaret show at The Duplex in Greenwich Village in September 1983. It has since been presented all over the world in over 8,000 productions (and counting) and grossed more than $500,000,000.


Struthers’ stage credits include Annie, The Odd Couple, Grease, Anything Goes, The Full Monty, and Fiddler on the Roof. She won her Emmys for her role as Gloria on All in the Family.


Goggin is also the author of the sequels, Nunsense 2: The Second Coming, Sister Amnesia’s Country Western Nunsense Jambore, Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical, Meshuggah Nuns, Nunsensations: The Nunsense Vegas Revue, and Nunsense A-Men.


As part of the 25th Anniversary festivities, The Nunsense Museum, a gallery of memorabilia from productions all around the globe, recently opened at Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury, CT.
