 “Nunsense” 

 

When the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, accidentally poisoned 52 fellow sisters, they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The nuns decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of “Grease.” Here we meet the Rev. Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice and wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, a nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. During this unprepared show, they experience many unexpected accidents. However, they put their hearts into it and are determined that the show is a success.

 

When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, 6:30 p.m. on Sundays

Koguro: Special Exhibition The Origin of Korean Power and Pride

 

The Goguryeo kingdom was established in 37 B.C. by King Gojumong. By the first century, it had firmly established itself as a powerful state. Under the reign of King Gwanggaeto the great, Goguryeo flourished on a vast area from the south-central Manchuria to the northern part of the Korean peninsula. The crown passed to the king Gwanggaeto’s son, Jangsu. King Jangsu took after his father’s enterprises and brought Goguryeo culture to its peak. Later Goguryeo failed to withstand the military alliance of Shilla. The Kingdom of Goguryeo ended in A.D. 668.
