“Put the Nuns In Charge” Fundraiser for Our Lady of the Snows Parochial School at John Ascuaga’s Nugget


Sparks/Reno, Nev. – Sit up straight and hide your knuckles! See “Put the Nuns In Charge,” a fundraiser for Our Lady of the Snows parochial school, November 20-21, in the Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuaga’s Nugget.
Put the Nuns in Charge, featuring Chicago actress Vicki Quade, is a funny refresher course with a modern look at the “Golden Rule.” Mother Superior offers her own opinions on just about everything: from the shade of your lipstick to the portable music player in your pocket. Put the Nuns in Charge creates a nostalgic look at a Catholic-school upbringing, applying those experiences to today’s modern problems. In Mother Superior’s world, everything relates to her Catholic faith. Instead of listening to modern music, she directs the class to look at the religious classics! She longs for the days of the May Queen and wonders what examples are being set by today’s celebrities.
For her work raising awareness of the plight of retired Sisters, Quade received the Spirit of Benedict Award in 2003 from the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago, and, in 2005, she was given a Partners in Mission Award by the Sisters of the Living Word in Arlington Heights. In 2009, the Sisters of Providence in Indiana honored her for her contributions to their order.
Proceeds will benefit Reno’s Our Lady of the Snows parochial school expansion project, which includes a new science and technology center, classrooms, a library and restroom facilities. For more details, visit their website at ourladyofthesnowsschool.org.
Put the Nuns in Charge, a fundraiser for Our Lady of the Snows parochial school, plays two shows in the Celebrity Showroom – Saturday, November 20 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, November 21 at 4 p.m. Tickets are just $35 and are available by calling (800) 648-1177 or (775) 356-3300 or by visiting janugget.com. Dinner and show packages are available. “Do the Nugget Tonight!”
