WEEK 3 | Performing Arts at St. Francis Church

This week, Northeast Summer Nights celebrates the Performing Arts with an evening inspired by one of the most beloved musical films of the '90s.

Thirty years later, Sister Act 2 is having a major comeback, as the original cast reunites to perform iconic songs that introduced a generation to the power of music, choir, and community. Whether you know every word to Joyful, Joyful or you're experiencing the movie for the first time, this is your chance to relive the magic.

What better place to enjoy this film than on the beautiful church lawn after watching the musical performances on the beautiful columned stage of the historic church. If you missed the performances at PorchFest, be sure to catch this.
