Hamline Chapel
Lawrenceburg

Have a short song prepared to show your talent.
If you want to audition for a speaking role, readings will be provided.

Mega-NUNSENSE starring the original five nuns features five new (male and female) characters including the never-before-seen infamous convent cook, Sister Julia, Child of God. In addition there is a chorus of men, women and children.

Sister Mary Regina (Mother Superior) (mezzo) A fiesty overweight Sophie Tucker-type who can’t resist the spotlight.
Sister Mary Hubert (mezzo) The second in command – always competing with the Mother Superior.
Sister Robert Anne (mezzo) A streetwise tough character from Brooklyn – a constant source of aggravation for the Mother Superior.
Sister Mary Amnesia (soprano) A sweet, but spacy nun who has lost her memory and does not know who she is.
Sister Mary Leo (mezzo) A novice, who has entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun balleria.
Sister Julia, Child of God – Convent cook
Brother/Sister Brendan – Novice
Brother/Sister Luke – Novice
Brother/Sister Wilhelm – Convent nurse
Father Virgil – Sr. Leo’s Brother
Chorus – Nuns, Brother and Students (ages 6 and up)

The parts of Brendan, Luke, Wilhelm and Virgil can be “Sisters” or “Brothers.” Sister Julia, normally played by a woman, can be played by a man impersonating Julia Child.
