SYNOPSIS
Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping to their feet! 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 a 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. Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. The cast is chock full of amazing roles for women of all ages, making this a perfect choice for high schools and community theatres. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!

The roles listed below are available due to conflicts with actors that had been previously cast. All original cast members were offered their previous roles before we scheduled auditions.
- Sister Mary Robert: (Female, 16 to 25) 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.
- Sister Mary Lazarus: (Female, 50 to 70) 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.
- Eddie Souther: (Male, 25 to 35) The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years, and dreams of being her hero.
- Tj: (Male, 16 to 30) Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.
- Joey: (Male, 30 to 40) One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man.
- Tina: (Female, 20 to 30) One of Deloris's back-up singers. A little naive.
- Ernie: (Male, 25 to 35) One of Curtis's thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man, he turns out to be an undercover police informant.
- Ensemble: Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron, Waitress, Pool Player, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers . Ensemble members will be playing various parts. Nuns, Gangsters, Patrons in Bar, etc. Both Males and Females will be Nuns at times if needed. Looking for one actor, (NUN) that plays the Piano very well and can follow the score while on stage.
Prince William Little Theatre is a volunteer organization. All cast members are volunteer (unpaid) and no parts have been pre-cast.
