Presser Arts Center's 100th production

Posted

A huge milestone has been reached at the Presser Arts Center in Mexico. Sister Act is the 100th show and the final performances will be Saturday, Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m.

"Rumor had it that this show was cursed," said Lois Brace executive director at Presser. "This show was scheduled to take place in 2019 and was delayed due to COVID. We tried again in 2020, and 2021. It was only through director Lynette Brown's determination that the show was un-cursed."

Brown started directing at Presser in 2016 with the production of Steel Magnolias.

Lois Brace says "Lynette picked up everything like glue. She is a general, major and sergeant all rolled up into one. She commands a high degree of performance from her cast." Playing the lead role of Deloris Van Cartier in her first production is Heather Nunnelly. "Audiences are very invested in this production of Sister Act. Lots of new faces in the crowd and on stage."
