The play, written by Lee Blessing, features Eve Wilfong, who lives above the Nice People Dancing to Good Country Music Bar in a dusty Texas town. Wilfong is paid an unexpected visit by her niece Catherine. Catherine, a novice nun who's been asked to leave her convent because she suffers from inappropriate and hilarious compulsions. The rough-and-tumble Jim owns the bar and is involved with Eve. Jim is doing his best to tolerate Eve's teenage hellion of a son, Jason, while he visits. Throw Roy, a regular at the bar who is completely infatuated with Catherine, into the mix and comedy rapidly builds.
