Click here for more information on this production that runs through November 26
"Hale Centre Theatre is presenting a return engagement of the upbeat and joyous musical Sister Act, which is based on the 1992 film that starred Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith, and has brought back the two leads who appeared in their 2018 production. Ashley (Jackson) White and Kathleen Richards are wonderful as the lounge singer who witnessed a murder and is hiding out in a convent and the mother superior who doesn't approve of her, respectively, and the entire cast and production are funny, charming and incredibly enjoyable....White is a powerhouse as Deloris. Her energy level is high and her ability to make the cocky and sure-of-herself woman someone we care for only grows when Deloris realizes she doesn't have any true friends that could take her in and that the nuns at the convent are the only family she has. White has excellent stage presence and a powerful singing voice that makes every song she sings a showstopper. Even though the role of the Mother Superior is a lot less colorful than the role of Deloris, Richards is incredible in her ability to, with just a few facial expressions or glances, make us clearly understand the intricacies of this stern, by-the-book, woman. Her solo in act two shows off her powerful singing voice.
