Alamogordo Music Theater at Flickinger to Host Tony-Nominated Musical Comedy, Sister Act

The Flickinger Center for Performing Arts is thrilled to announce that the award-winning musical comedy Sister Act will take the stage this August 2026. The vibrant production promises an evening of laughter, heart, and high-energy music that will leave audiences glowing long after the curtain falls.

About the Production

Based on the beloved 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act is a riotous musical comedy that has audiences jumping to their feet night after night. Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The story follows disco diva Deloris Van Cartier, who witnesses a murder and is placed in protective custody in the one place no one would think to look: a convent. Forced to trade sequins for a habit and disguise herself as Sister Mary Clarence, Deloris finds herself at odds with the convent’s rigid lifestyle and its no-nonsense Mother Superior. But when asked to help the struggling choir, Deloris brings her own flair, confidence, and powerhouse vocals to the group—revitalizing the church and energizing the community around her. As the choir’s popularity grows, so does the danger, leading to a joyful, high-stakes finale that celebrates friendship, courage, and sisterhood.
