Nun too saucy
First Night
Danny Fleming is a 30-something video-store clerk who is comfortable with his disenchantment with life, love and religion. As he is closing the store on New Year’s Eve, Danny’s comfortable world is rocked. Enter Sister Meredith Louise, fresh out of the convent. It just so happens that in school, Danny and Meredith shared an unrevealed love for one another until Meredith left to become a nun and left Danny always wondering, “What if?” Now it’s 20 years later, and Meredith is ready to make Danny’s dream a reality. But first she will have to take on his stubborn cynicism and self-inflicted guilt. The result is a bright, fast-moving romantic comedy.
First Night by Jack Neary was first published and produced in 1985 and has twice been rewritten to give a timely quality to this timeless tale.
Stephanie Gularte directs this production, which stars Heather Brooks (The Man Who Came to Dinner, The Foreigner) and Bill Glasser (The Merchant of Venice, Beyond Therapy, Death of a Salesman).
