 Who's Who 

  • Sister Mary Cannoli

    Director & Music Director

    Sister Mary Cannoli, lovingly referred to as "Sister Sizzle" by her fellow sisters, is the convent's musical maven, culinary queen, and the spicy maestro behind its most delectable and delightful productions. With a keyboard under one arm and a rolling pin in the other, Sister Cannoli orchestrates the stage and kitchen with equal parts flair and flavor.

    Hailing from the heart of Italy (by way of a pizza oven), Sister Cannoli's love for musical theater and mouthwatering cuisine began when she traded her opera singing for operatic baking. From her first performance as "Mamma Mia" in the convent's rendition of "The Sound of Music" to her show-stopping portrayal of "Chef Spaghetti" in "Sister Act: The Pasta Party," she's been stirring up laughter and applause with every dish and every note.
