Kirkcaldy Youth Music Theatre (KYMT) will stage its production of Sister Act at the newly refurbished theatre from Thursday, February 22 to Saturday, February 24.

The production is based on the 1992 musical film of the same name starring Whoopi Goldberg. It tells the story of disco singer Deloris Van Cartier who enters witness protection in a convent.

Disguised as a nun she finds herself at odds with the rigid lifestyle and the uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so, she blows her cover.
