Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years.Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.
Then, the Renaissance presents an encore performance of an audience favorite. Sister Act, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, and book by Bill and Cheri Steinkellner, tells the story of a woman hiding in a convent who helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she rediscovers her own.
