Sun, May 3 at 2pm

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.

Rivertown Players Inc Presents TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE at the Glenmore Playhouse

RP_logoThrough special arrangements with Dramatists Play Service, Rivertown Players, Inc. of Lawrenceburg, Indiana will be presenting TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE at the Glenmore Playhouse, 3716 Glenmore Avenue, Cheviot Ohio.

The play will run January 8, 9 and 10th 2015 with curtain at 7:30 PM. A matinee will be held on Jan 11, 2015 at 2:00 PM. You may purchase tickets on line at http://www.showtix4u.com or by calling the ticket hotline 812-532-3078. Ticket prices are $15.00.

The play is a poignant, life-affirming drama that tells the autobiographical story of Mitch Alborn (Ray Persing) an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career and Morrie Schwartz (portrayed by Kent Smith) his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig’s disease. They are reunited and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life. The production is directed by Amanda Borchers, and produced by Victoria Garcia.

Rivertown Players, Inc. has been an established community theatre in Southern Indiana for over twenty five years and is very excited about this first-ever collaboration between Rivertown Players and The Glenmore Playhouse. To learn more visit www.rivertownplayers.com.
