It’s also a redemption story filled with crime and singing nuns. It’s a high school musical based on a movie and the Indian Players are ready for a divine performance.

The theater department’s production of “Sister Act” will open it’s four-performance schedule Thursday night with a Project Graduation-based fundraiser show. Entry for Thursday night is “pay what you can.”

Admission for the rest of the run will be $10 per adults and $5 per students.

Q: What is your favorite part about theater?

A: (Carter Collins) I think my favorite part about theater are the people and the experience. There is never going to be another set of people that are going to be as special to me as the people sitting right here.

Q:How do you see theater affecting your future?

A: (Elizabeth Decluitt) I am not majoring in theater. However, (“Sister Act”) has really showed me how to adapt and compare and so I feel like that’s really going to help me with the career I’m going for.
