NUNSENSE
Laughter can be habit-forming, as demonstrated by this musical comedy. After eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia, Child of God, the entire Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken succumbed to botulism. Mercifully, five nuns were spared. The sisters don't have enough money to bury the last four of the dearly departed. So in true Nunsense style, the remaining "Lil' Hobos" decide to parade their talents at a variety benefit show. Blessed with sidesplitting wit and show-stopping tunes these innocent nuns are destined to raise the roof with heavenly howls of laughter!

LIVING OUT
Follow the lives of two working mothers: Nancy, an affluent Beverly Hills attorney, and her nanny, Ana, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. The women share a daily struggle to balance their families with the demands of their jobs, but the parity of their lives stops there.
