Dubbed “A lively ‘nun-stop’ musical,” by the New York Times, “Nunsense” concerns the comic misadventures of five nuns—ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert— who try valiantly and with much hilarity to stage a talent show to raise some emergency funds for their convent.

Land, Sea & Sky, featuring Chef Vincenzo Vecchione, May 9, 2013.
This is a spring fundraising dinner for the preservation and restoration of the beautiful Candoro Marble Building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1920 beaux arts structure is commonly referred to as the "jewel of the marble city." Today, the building serves as the cornerstone of the Vestal neighborhood of South Knoxville. It is a place where citizens enjoy yoga, life drawing classes, and the wildly-popular South Knox Arts & Heritage festival entitled VESTIVAL, which takes place on May 11.

Chef Vincenzo Vecchione will be assisted by Keith Bradley, manager of DaVinci's restaurant in Knoxville's Old City. At this time, Chef Vecchione is planning to hold the dinner outdoors, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, the dinner will be moved indoors.

The Busseni Dinner is $125 per person
