A show not to be missed

The dramatic company Teatru Rjal is once again presenting Sister Act, the stage adaptation of the film bearing the same name, at the Catholic Institute in Floriana on two consecutive weekends next month.

The story is about Maria Dolores, who leaves her fiancé – a criminal nightclub owner – and take refuge in a convent dressed up as a nun.

Here Maria Dolores works hard to apply her singing experience to transform the choir run by the nuns into an exceptional one. In this she finds the support of a number of nuns.

The leading role of Maria Dolores will be played by singer Leontine with other supporting roles played by Debbie Scerri and Ina Robinich. Other singers and actors in the musical include Doreen Galea, Anthony Ellul, Laura Bruno, Eileen Micallef, Ronald Briffa, Donna Marie Ellul, Manuel Cutajar, Sarah Camilleri, Mario Camilleri, Louis Gatt, Carmen Minafo, Mariosa Pavia and Franky Borg.

Sister Act is produced by Pawlu Testa, directed Frederick Testa and choreographed by Mariosa Pavia. Among the most popular songs from the film that will be interpreted live are Lounge Medly, Salve Regina, I will follow him, My Guy, Oh Happy Days, Dancing in the Streets, Rescue me and Shout. Music will be provided by Joe Brown and his band.

Sister Act will be staged on 9 and 10 February at 6.30 pm, on 16 February at 7 pm and on 17 February at 2.30pm and 6.30 p.m.
