NUNSENSE Character descriptions:
- Sister Mary Regina, Mother Superior
A feisty, overweight (optional) Sophie Tucker –type who can’t resist the spotlight. Strong comedienne. Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
- Sister Mary Hubert, Mistress of Novices
The second in command, she is always competing with the Mother Superior (with friendly rivalry). Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
- Sister Robert Anne
A streetwise character from a tough neighborhood. A constant source of (friendly) aggravation for the Mother Superior. Desperate for a starring role. Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
- Sister Mary Amnesia
This nun lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head. She is very sweet and funny (and perhaps a sandwich short of a picnic!). Vocal part: Soprano AND belter.
- Sister Mary Leo, The novice
She entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun ballerina. Must perform ballet either on pointe, or in slippers. Vocal part: Mezzo/belter.
Show synopsis:
The Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken take over a high school
auditorium to hold a fundraising variety show to raise money to bury several
sisters (who were accidentally poisoned by their cook). They must inter the nuns
before the health inspector comes and finds the dead nuns in their
freezer! Fraught with hilarity, both Catholic and otherwise, we watch as 5 nuns
try to perform their planned performance amidst chaos and calamity.
