[Synopsis]
Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.
Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless! A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE! We are looking for both singers and dancers for this production.
[CAST BREAKDOWN]
Deloris Van Cartier
An aspiring performer, trying to find both fame and a place in the world. When forced to hide in the convent, she initially refuses to embrace her new lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed, and sassy, but ultimately caring.
Gender: Female | Age: 25 to 35 | Vocal range: E3-F#5
Mother Superior
The head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings.
Gender: Female | Age: 40 to 70 | Vocal range: D3-E5
Sister Mary Robert
A postulant, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken, but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life.
Gender: Female | Age: 16 to 25 | Vocal range: F#3-A5
Sister Mary Patrick
A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable.
Gender: Female | Age: 20 to 50
Sister Mary Lazarus
A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather deadpan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns, but she gets caught up in Deloris's soul music.
Gender: Female | Age: 30 to 70 | Vocal range: F3-B4

Monsignor O'hara
One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.
Gender: Male | Age: 45 to 60 | Vocal range: E3-G4

Curtis
A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris's boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence.
Gender: Male | Age: 30 to 40 | Vocal range: A2-Ab4

Eddie Souther
The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years, and dreams of being her hero.
Gender: Male | Age: 25 to 35 | Vocal range: Ab2-B4

TJ
Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.
Gender: Male | Age: 16 to 30 | Vocal range: Db3-Eb5

Joey
One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man.
Gender: Male | Age: 30 to 40 | Vocal range top: Bb2-Eb5

Pablo
One of Curtis's thugs. A natural follower, constantly speaks in Spanish.
Gender: Male | Age: 25 to 40 |Vocal range: C4-F5

Sister Mary Martin-of-tours
A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity.
Gender: Female | Age: 40 to 60
Sister Mary Theresa
A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch.
Gender: Female | Age: 40 to 70
Michelle
One of Deloris's back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort.
Gender: Female | Age: 20 to 30 | Vocal range: Bb3-F5

Tina
One of Deloris's back-up singers. A little thick and naive.
Gender: Female | Age: 20 to 30 | Vocal range top: Ab3-F5

Ernie
One of Curtis's thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man, he turns out to be an undercover police informant.
Gender: Male | Age: 25 to 35
Ensemble
Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron, Waitress, Pool Player, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers
[Audition Guidelines For Open Calls]
Please prepare 16 - 32 measures of an upbeat song or ballad in your key (less than a minute). Choose a piece that you are comfortable with and one that shows off your strengths. You will need to sing with an accompaniment track. We will provide a speaker that you can Bluetooth your phone to and will allow you time to test the volume before you sing. Many tracks are available on YouTube, but since internet is a little spotty in our audition room we encourage you to download or screen record your accompaniment so you don’t need internet reception. Memorization of your vocal excerpt is strongly encouraged since it is difficult to see the emotion in your face if you are reading off a paper/screen. Everyone auditioning will be required to do a vocal audition as well as participate in the dance call.
For the dance call, make sure to wear clothes and shoes you can move and turn in. There will be a warm-up to start with and you may be on the ground for that. You will have time to change clothes between vocal audition and dance call if you so choose.
Headshots and resumes are not required but we will take them if you have them. No monologues necessary.
