Dan Goggin’s “Nunsense” is a beloved warhorse for a reason. It’s pure, lighthearted merriment with tried and true laughs built around “nun” liners, “nun” puns and “nun” sequiturs in a story about a group of nuns who reveal that they crave the entertainment spotlight. ....
Even though staging shows during a pandemic is “twice as hard” as usual, Rick Kerby says he feels fortunate that the Manatee Players is able to keep producing while so many other theaters have shut down. “It does make me appreciate the fact that we’re able to do anything,” said Kerby, the producing artistic director of the Manatee Performing Arts Center, home to the Manatee Players community theater. “So many of my friends who run theaters across the country are shutting their doors or waiting it out.
