When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be 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. Written by Joseph Howard for the Motion Picture of the same name. Directed by Moira Nikander-Forrester. Pinnacle Playhouse, 256 Pinnacle St, Belleville, ON. Preview June 9. Performances June 11-28 Wednesdays (new) to Sundays. Nearby parking, wheelchair accessible. Tickets at 613-967-1442 or bellevilletheatreguild.ca.
