ABOUT

Starring Buffalo’s SISTER ACT ran November 3-4, 2023 at Shea’s 710 Theatre. Filled with powerful gospel music and outrageous comedy, SISTER ACT is a sparkling tribute to the power of friendship.

She starred opposite Tony Award-Nominee Sidney DuPont (Paradise Square, Beautiful) as Eddie, and Buffalo stars George L Brown (Once On This Island) as Curtis and Jenn Stafford (four-time Artie Award-Winner) as Mother Superior.
