Notes: written by Jane Trahey and Anna Helen Reuter. Based on Jane Trahey's book, LIFE WITH MOTHER SUPERIOR. First a bestselling novel, then a successful motion picture (under the title The Trouble with Angels), and now skillfully adapted for the stage, this rollicking, hilarious play details the high-spirited fun of life in a girls' boarding school | ||||
Synopsis: The action begins with the arrival of the author and several other new students at St. Mark's Academy, a strict Catholic school for girls. Determined to cause trouble, the girls begin by giving false names for themselves, which quickly brings them into their first confrontation with the seemingly formidable Mother Superior. Thereafter one zany misdeed follows another. But even as the action grows ever more lively, so does an awareness of the heart-warming humanity of the girls, the sistersand the Mother Superior. In the end there are lessons to be learned along with the fun, and they are seasoned with laughter and filled with the good spirits of young girls enjoying life to the fullest. | ||||
