Nuncrackers Brings Some Christmas Nunsense to Center for the Arts This Holiday Season

Nuncrackers is set to open Friday, Dec. 2, at The Center for the Arts.

“In the busyness of the holiday season it’s important to take some time to relax and laugh. That is what Nuncrackers will do for you!” Mark David Williams, artistic director of the Center for the Arts and musical co-director of the show, said. “Come and get in the Christmas spirit with these hilarious nuns. You never know what could go wrong.”

The Nunsense Christmas musical, Nuncrackers, is presented as the first TV special taped in the Cable Access Studio built by Reverend Mother in the convent basement. It stars the lovable nuns, Father Virgil, and four of Mount Saint Helen’s most talented students. Featuring fun, original songs, this show is filled with humor, beloved carols, and a “Secret Santa” audience participation.

Nuncrackers is rated PG and performance times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Dec. 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17; and at 2 p.m. Saturdays Dec. 10 and 17 and Sundays Dec. 4, 11 and 18.
