Charles Busch’s Irreverent Comedy Runs May 29 – June 21, 2026

Religious visions! Forbidden love! Crises of faith! Maraschino cherry stigmata! This June, Vagabond Players closes its 110th Season, and celebrates Pride Month, with Charles Busch’s The Divine Sister, directed by Steve Goldklang.

Vagabond Players’ wildly campy production of THE DIVINE SISTER will convert audiences into being a true believer with a gleefully outrageous send-up of every wonderfully over-the-top nun movie ever made. With his signature razor-sharp wit, Busch—the creator of Psycho Beach Party, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife—delivers a riotously funny homage to Hollywood melodrama.

Perfect for fans of The Sound of Music, The Trouble with Angels, Agnes of God, The Da Vinci Code and the irreverent spirit of John Waters, this gender-bending comedy offers a deliciously wicked theatrical experience that is equal parts satire, farce and loving tribute.

“This gleefully twisted tale of the secret lives of nuns…is Mr. Busch’s freshest, funniest work in years, perhaps decades.” - The New York Times

“This is prime Busch featuring a never-ending homage to revered B-films, all filtered through a John Waters lens….” - Broadway World

Bring your bad habits and pedal down to Vagabond Players to join in channeling the delicious ghosts of Tinseltown’s past in actor, playwright, and drag legend Charles Busch’s riotously raunchy comedy.

THE DIVINE SISTER runs May 29 – June 21, 2026, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. And check out a special “Thursdays on Broadway” performance June 18 at 8 p.m. when all tickets are just $12.
