Character descriptions:

SISTER MARY REGINA, MOTHER SUPERIOR: Female to play mid 60’s (Range: B3-F5):  A feisty Sophie Tucker-type who can't resist the spotlight. 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. 

SISTER MARY HUBERT, MISTRESS OF NOVICES: Female to play mid 50’s (Range: G3-F5): The second in command, she is always competing with the Mother Superior. 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.

SISTER ROBERT ANNE: Female to play mid 30’s (Range: G3-D5): A streetwise taught character from Brooklyn. A constant source of aggravation for the Mother Superior. 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. ​​​​​​​

SISTER MARY AMNESIA: Female to play late 30’s (Range: Db4-C6): This nun lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head. She is very sweet. 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.​​​​​​​

SISTER MARY LEO: Female to play Early/Mid 30’s (Range: G#3-G5): The novice, who has entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun ballerina. 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.
