ROLES
- Sister Mary Regina (40s – 60s): Mother Superior, outrageous, quick-witted, knows how to get a laugh, tries to convince you that she is strict, but everyone knows that her “bark is worse than her bite.” Vocal part: Mezzo.
- Sister Mary Hubert (40s – 60s): She is in charge of the novices, but fancies herself a Mother Superior & is in constant competition with Mary Regina. She exudes maternal wisdom to the novices but also likes to let loose. Vocal part: Mezzo, Gospel style.
- Sister Robert Anne (30s – 50s): A tough streetwise nun who has a heart of gold, a jokester and constantly challenging authority, a constant source of aggravation for Mother Superior. Vocal part: Mezzo.
- Sister Mary Amnesia (20s – 50s): The picture of innocence, lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head, can’t remember her past, and so she looks at each day with a childlike joy, has a puppet alter ego named Sister Mary Annette. Vocal part: Soprano, Broadway and Country style.
- Sister Mary Leo (17 – 30s): The novice nun, a former professional dancer, always eager to display her talent, impressionable, entered the convent to become the first ballerina nun. She is easily swayed to join in the mischief. Vocal part: Mezzo.
