After a 5-star Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut and a sold-out & extended NYC premiere, writer and performer Caroline Dunn is bringing her one-woman-gay-nun-play PRUDENCE PLAY to Philadelphia’s Harmonie Hall May 1st and 2nd.​

Prudence Play (or Sister Prudence is Not Gay!) stars a young catholic nun having an identity (gay-as-hell) crisis. From her fever dream of tap dancing, or her hot and heavy thoughts during the Lenten fish fry, you understand…she’s having a moment. She’s waking up to feelings for a fellow sister, wrestling with her every belief, and confessing a lot (perhaps too much) to the order’s new priest. As memories from her past resurface and her dreams get more sinful, Prudence begins to question the voice in her head and is forced to confront her (horny) (gay) demons.
