Join Scugog Uxbridge Club for our maiden bus trip to live theatre.
Get ready to raise your voice for the habit-forming musical comedy that’s pure joy from start to finish! Based on the hit film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act follows Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva on the run after witnessing a crime. Forced to hide in a convent under the guise of a nun, Deloris struggles to fit in with the quiet, structured life of the sisters. But when she brings her dazzling energy and show-stopping voice to the choir, she helps the nuns discover their own harmony — and, in the process, rediscovers herself.
