The popular musical comedy proves that "nuns are fun" when the Little Sisters of Hoboken hold a benefit to raise enough money to bury some dead sisters after a terrible tragedy at the convent. The Little Sisters of Hoboken are led by Reverend Mother, Sister Mary Regina (played by Linda Littlewood). The other sisters particpating in the benefit are Sister Hubert (Wendy Dahl-Smedshammer), the Mistress of Novices working her way up to Mother Superior; Sister Robert Ann (Bethany Newman Hall), a streetwise nun that can really sing; Sister Mary Amnesia (Suzanne Walker), a poor soul who can't remember who she is since a crucifix fell on her head; and Sister Mary Leo (Karen Steadman), who is striving to become the first "nun ballerina".

Hall of Honors Nominations

In 1983, Midvale City established its Hall of Honors to recognize "native (or adopted) sons and daughters of Midvale who have made significant contributions to Midvale and/or those whose accomplishments and achievements have brought fame and recognition to Midvale as a community." Since inception, 33 individuals and 6 service organizations have been inducted into the Hall of Honors. Induction into the Hall of Honors is a great honor and tribute for the inductees and is one small way to recognize some of Midvale’s finest citizens.

A reception is held each year during Harvest Days to recognize and honor the current year’s inductee. A plaque honoring the inductee is also placed in the Hall of Honors Room at City Hall. If you haven’t had the chance, drop by City Hall and visit the Hall of Honors Room to read the plaques of previous inductees and feel of the great heritage they have created in our community.

Nomination forms for this year’s Hall of Honors inductee are now available at City Hall. We encourage all citizens to look around them and take the time to nominate individuals in the community who have made significant contributions to our wonderful city. Nomination forms must be returned to City Hall by June 1^st.

Basic rules governing the nomination process:

The Hall of Honors is truly a great way to recognize those individuals around us who make our community great. Please take the time to nominate a worthy individual in our community for induction into the Hall of Honors.
