Staff pick
If your idea of a good night out involves sharp wit, theatrical excess and a healthy dose of irreverence, this one deserves a spot on your calendar.
Charles Busch brings “The Divine Sister” to Sharon Playhouse for a one-night-only staged reading, giving audiences a chance to see the legendary playwright and performer in one of his signature comedies.
The play gleefully turns the classic Hollywood “nun movie” on its head, with Busch’s trademark camp and larger-than-life characters at the center of the fun.
Even better, this isn’t just any reading: several members of the original Off-Broadway cast are returning for the occasion, making it a reunion as much as a performance. And because it’s a benefit for Sharon Playhouse, your ticket helps support the theater while you’re enjoying the show.
