From Disco Diva to Disguise

Based on the hit Touchstone Pictures film, Sister Act follows disco diva Deloris Van Cartier, whose life takes a dramatic turn when she witnesses a crime. Placed in protective custody inside a convent, Deloris struggles to fit into her new surroundings. Disguised as a nun, she soon discovers that her bold personality and musical talent may be exactly what the struggling church choir needs.

A Story of Transformation and Sisterhood

What begins as a reluctant hideout becomes a journey of personal growth and unexpected friendship. As Deloris transforms the convent choir into a vibrant, soulful sensation, she also finds her own voice in a new way. Amidst the suspense of evading danger, the heart of Sister Act shines through: the power of unity, courage, and sisterhood.
