Description:

Seeking Young Performers for Singing Auditions for "Sister Act" – Check out the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Sister Act is a lively stage adaptation of the beloved 1992 film about a nightclub singer turned accidental nun.. Set in 1970s Philadelphia, the plot follows Deloris, who witnesses a mob hit and is placed in witness protection at a convent, posing as a nun. Initially out of place in the quiet, conservative world of the church, Deloris uses her lively, secular personality to rejuvenate the convent’s struggling choir, turning it into a powerhouse that brings the community together. With music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, and a book by Cheri and Bill Steinkellner, the musical brings the heartwarming story of Deloris Van Cartier. The musical features a blend of gospel, soul, and disco-inspired tunes that add an infectious energy to the show. With humor and heart, Sister Act explores themes of sisterhood, self-discovery, and redemption.
