Singing Audition for "Sister Act" Musical
Teens actors are invited to audition for the "Sister Act" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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 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. Additional info: Please arrive a minimum of 10 minutes before your scheduled audition time to check in and fill out any necessary paperwork including all known conflicts. Vocal Audition: Please prepare (2) 16-bar cuts of musical theatre songs that show your vocal range. Songs from the show are not discouraged.

19 roles
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. Vocal range: E3-F#5
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. Vocal range: D3-E5
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. Vocal range: F#3-A5
A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable.
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. Vocal range: F3-B4
One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood. Vocal range: E3-G4

One of Curtis's thugs. A natural follower, constantly speaks in Spanish. Vocal range: C4-F5
A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world but has her moments of surprising clarity.
A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance but secretly packs a punch.
