Description:

In this hilarious spoof, the Little Sisters of Hoboken are trying to manage a fundraiser show so they can bury the rest of their sisters, who were accidentally poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia (Child of God). The show has been updated with new jokes, a new song, additional lyrics, new arrangements and more.

Seeking:
Sister Mary Regina (Mother Superior) Head of the convent, respected greatly by the sisters. While strict she has a hard time keeping the craziness of the convent at bay. Keeps her guard up in front of the sisters but has an extroverted side. Part requires some very physical humor, and can be played with an Irish accent. Gender: Female; Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Age 40's to 60's

Sister Mary Hubert 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. Gospel singing style is a plus. Ability to tap is encouraged by not required. Gender: Female; Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Age 40's to 60's

Sister Robert Anne Once child delinquent herself, this rough tough nun is a jokester & constantly challenging authority. She speaks with a thick Brooklyn accent & constantly displays her lack of refinement. Gender: Female; Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Age 30's to 50's

Sister Mary Amnesia As the name suggests, she has lost her memory & does not know who she is except that she is a nun. She is spacey & incoherent, often slipping into displays inappropriate for a nun. Must be able to sing in classical & country styles. Gender: Female; Voice part: Soprano/Belter; Age 30's to 50's

Sister Mary Leo Leo is the novice nun, still learning the way & coming to terms with her decision to give up "civilian life". She is a ballerina & displays her talents through much of the show. She is easily swayed to join in the mischief. Gender: Female; Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Age 20's to 30's
