Seeking the following role only:

Sister Mary Lazarus:

Caucasian female, 60s – 70s. The elderly nun. Tough, out of the Depression Era, full of vinegar and humor, with twice the energy of anyone half her age. She's seen them come and go, and nothing fazes this Sister. She's quick on the wisecracks and always ready to roll up her sleeves and dig in. Strong belt and legit a plus, but needs to be able to rap and be very funny. Needs movement ability. PRINCIPAL
