2016 SEASON
SISTER ACT
Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Glenn Slater
Book by Cheri Steinkellner & Bill Steinkellner
Dir: Keith Andrews
1st reh – June 6
Opening – June 21
Closing – July 2
SISTER ACT is the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and hides in the last place anyone would think to look – a convent. Disguised as a nun, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
DELORIS
25 – 35, African-American. 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.
MOTHER SUPERIOR
50 – 70, 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.
SISTER MARY ROBERT
16 – 25, 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.
SISTER MARY PATRICK
35 – 50, A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable.
SISTER MARY LAZARUS
50 – 70, 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.
SISTER MARY MARTIN-OF-TOURS
40 – 60, A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity.
SISTER MARY THERESA
60 – 70, A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch.
MONSIGNOR O’HARA
45 – 60, One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.
CURTIS
30 – 40, African-American. A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris's boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence.
EDDIE
25 – 35, African-American. 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.
TJ
16 – 30, African-American. Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.
JOEY
30 – 40, One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man.
PABLO
25 – 40, Hispanic. One of Curtis's thugs. A natural follower, constantly speaks in Spanish.

Dir: Kathryn Markey

The story of a hugely successful singing duo from the 1960s, reunited for a one time only TV special. Think Steve & Eydie, Sonny & Cher... The pair has incredible chemistry, charm and occasional antagonism.
Sing a song in the style of the show – or something that shows off your vocal range. Pop, jazz, or standards preferred.

30s – 50s, Male. Stylish vocalist a la Steve Lawrence or Robert Goulet. Handsome and charming, a womanizer. Big ego and edge, but knows that Keely is the one true love of his life. A great comic actor and superb singer.
KEELY STEVENS
30s – 50s, Female. Singer with great jazz and pop vocals a la Eydie Gorme. Charming, tough, professional. She’s still in love with Pete, although she won’t admit it. Drinks on the sly. A great comic actress and superb singer.
