Director Jeffrey M. Lukas is looking for strong actors with great comedic timing, who have high energy creating a great show overall and making the “Play within a Play” hilariously “amature”.
Sign up for an audition date by filling out the form below.
Audition Requirements: Upload your headshot and resume on the form or please bring it to the audition. Please provide your conflicts from August through September. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. You may be requested to stay past your audition time to read with other actors.
There may be a possible call back on Aug. 1st at 8 pm if necessary.
Play Synopsis: This is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theater during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.
Character Breakdown
Production Dates: Performances run 2 weekends (Fri. Sat, Sun.) from September 20th through September 29, 2024. There are a total of 6 public performances. There may be a possible command performance added on Thursdays during performance weekends. This will be communicated to you prior to performances dates if it happens.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
**All roles sing even if vocal ranges are not provided
Deloris Van Cartier
An aspiring performer, trying to find both fame and a place in the world. When forced to hide in the convent, she initially refuses to embrace her new lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed, and sassy, but ultimately caring.
Female 25 to 35 African American
Vocal range top: F#5 Vocal range bottom: E3
Mother Superior
The head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings.
Female 40 to 70
Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: D3
Sister Mary Robert
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. Female 18 to 25
Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: F#3
Sister Mary Patrick
A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable. Female 35 to 50
Vocal range top: B5 Vocal range bottom: A3
Sister Mary Lazarus
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.
Female 50 to 70
Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: F3
Monsignor O'hara
One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.
Male 45 to 60

Curtis
A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris's boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence.
Male 30 to 40

Eddie Souther
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. Male 25 to 35
Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: Ab2
TJ
Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.
Male 18 to 30

Joey
One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man. Male 30 to 40

Sister Mary Martin-of-Tours
A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity. Female 40 to 60
Sister Mary Theresa
A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch. Female 60 to 70
Michelle
One of Deloris's back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. Female 20 to 30
Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: Bb3
Tina
One of Deloris's back-up singers. A little thick and naive. Female 20 to 30
Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
