ABOUT THE SHOW: The Little Sisters of Hoboken began as a greeting card series and quickly became one of the most prolific community theatre shows and the 2nd longest running off Broadway production of all time with well over 3000 performances. This habit-forming show has gained such popularity since it’s inception in 1985 that has spawned 6 sequels, 2 television adaptations and is translated into 26 languages around the world! GCT has even produced successful runs of the show in 1993 and 2019 along with 2 of it’s sequels over the years. This riotous show is set during a fundraiser to raise money in order to bury sisters accidently poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia (Child of God) and follows the silly antics and sweet reflections of the remaining sisters.
