About the play: Sister Elizabeth Donderstock is a cheese ball-making member of an Amish-like community, known as the Squeamish, who gets pushed around by the Reverend Tollhouse and new arrival Brother Nathaniel Brightbee. Eventually she can’t take the pressure any more and runs off to the big, bad outside world. During her journey, she meets wacky characters that help her discover who she really is.

If you would like details concerning the characters, the plot and past performances please access this web site.
