Cabaret artist Molly Pope will star in the new one-person musical Second To Nun, which will begin performances June 29 at the Zeiders American Dream Theater in Virginia Beach.
Featuring music by Michael Cooper and book and lyrics by Anton Dudley, the musical casts Pope as Canadian saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, reliving 鈥渉er death-defying journey (The Black Plague, Iroquois scalpers, Randy French soldiers) to bring women to New France.鈥�
The limited engagement, directed by Dudley, will continue through August 5 with performances Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7 PM.
Cooper, who contributed additional lyrics to Broadway's It Shoulda Been You, describes Second To Nun as 鈥渁 story of inclusion and love. I was galvanized by the voyage of this incredible woman who overcame such unbelievable odds to forge a new path in the New World. She鈥檚 a survivor鈥攍iving life without walls鈥攖hat really resonates for me as an artist.鈥�
