Characters:
The roles of the five nuns are all female presenting, ages 20s to 60s. Character descriptions and vocal ranges are as follows:
Sister Mary Regina (40s–60s) Mother Superior, the 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 light dancing. Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Range: G below Middle C to High F.
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. Light Dancing/ tap. Gospel singing style is a plus. Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Range: G below Middle C to High F.
Sister Robert Ann (30s–60s) 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. Light Dancing/ tap. Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Range: G below Middle C to High F.
Sister Mary Amnesia (30s–50s) 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. Light Dancing/ tap. Must be able to sing in classical & country styles. Voice part: 1st Soprano/Belter; Range: G below Middle C to High B (opt. C#).
Sister Mary Leo (20s–30s) 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. Ballet (on Pointe where possible) Tap. Voice part: Mezzo/Belter; Range: G below Middle C to High G.
