For 11 years, William Christopher played Father Mulcahy on what many consider the best sitcom of all time, M*A*S*H. New Theatre regulars will remember William from our hilarious farce from a few seasons ago, FUNNY MONEY. Well William is back and back at it in the musical comedy that mixes the silliness of NUNSENSE with the homespun humor of PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION: CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES! This hilarious musical comedy is a celebration of the church basement kitchens everywhere and the wonderful, unsung women who work there. The script is dead-on, the music is toe tapping, the humor is delicious and the cast includes some of the funniest people we have ever assembled on our stage. This show has been selling out solid in Minneapolis for the past 25 months and shows no signs of slowing down.
