😎 Meet Curtis... the man you definitely don't want to cross! 😎

When Deloris Van Cartier finds herself in witness protection, it's because she's trying to stay one step ahead of Curtis and his crew. Smooth, intimidating, and determined to get what he wants, Curtis is the villain of *Sister Act* — and he brings plenty of attitude, swagger, and unforgettable musical moments to the stage.

Taking on the role is the talented **Regan Tate**, who delivers all the charm, menace, and larger-than-life personality that makes Curtis such a memorable character.

Will Curtis catch up with Deloris? Or will the sisters have something to say about it? You'll have to grab a ticket and find out! 🎶⛪💃
