Casting: (Adults: 3 Women & 1 Man)

Sister Robert Anne (mezzo) -- 20s-30s; a tough, courageous cookie with a warm heart; lives to perform; strong singer/actress who must move easily from a lyrical ballad to a raunchy belt.

Sister Mary Paul (Amnesia) (soprano w/ good belt range) -- 20s-30s; very sweet and naïve; a smile never leaves her face, still a little dizzy from the time a crucifix fell on her head and she temporarily lost her memory; loves to sing country western; very energetic and spritely.

Sister Mary Hubert (soprano w/big voice for a "gospel" solo) -- 20s-40s; second in command; not so secretly thinks Reverend Mother makes mistakes in leadership; tries to keep order where there is chaos; likes to be in charge, and is thwarted at every turn; rallies with a big 11 o'clock gospel number that shakes the roof off.

Father Virgil (tenor to baritone*) -- 20s-60s; strong actor with comic timing; a priest with a bent for show biz; has his own radio show and relishes his celebrity; despite his used- car- salesman antics, he has a warm heart.

*Note: The role of Reverend Mother Regina has been pre-cast.
