Like the original, "Nunsense II" takes place in the "gymnatorium" of Mt. Saint Helen's School. It features the same five nuns, six weeks later, now bitten by the theater bug and ready to put on a "Thank-You Program" for all the people who supported them in their first benefit. This time, the set is dressed with props from the musical, The Mikado. For all those patrons who didn't attend the first benefit, Sister Hubert has written a "high-speed" synopsis for the Sisters to act out, immediately bringing everyone up-to-date.
Auditions will run from 2-5 p.m. Sept. 28 and from 1-4 p.m. Sept. 29. Callbacks will be held from 4-6 p.m. Sept. 29.
Auditionees will need to prepare a song about one minute in length in the style of the character being auditioned for. They will need to provide their own sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. Auditions will also consist of a brief dance audition. If you have tap shoes, please bring them.
| Sister Mary Regina (F[3[-D[5] Mezzo or Alto range, Jazz/Swing style) | To the outside world, she is a model Mother Superior-even if she is overweight. But to those who know her, she is an outrageous, quick-witted soul who knows how to get a laugh. She tries to convince you that she is strict, but everyone knows that her bark is worse than her bite. She can't resist the spotlight. |
| Sister Mary Hubert (F[3]-C[5] Mezzo or Alto range, Gospel style) | A kind person who always tries to be understanding and diplomatic. She teaches the Novices the ground rules, and is supposed to be dignified. But with the slightest bit of encouragement, she is ready to kick up her heels. Second in command, she is always competing with Mother Superior. |
| Sister Robert Anne (F#[3]-F[5] Mezzo or Alto range, Show Belter/ballad style) | A tough streetwise nun who has a heart of gold. All the kids adore her because she speaks their language. And she can hit a baseball "out of the park." A constant source of aggravation for Mother Superior. |
| Sister Mary Amnesia (G[3]-B[5] High Soprano range, Broadway/Country style) | The picture of innocence; she lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. She can't remember her past, and so she looks at each day with a childlike joy. Also has a puppet alter ego named Sister Mary Annette Ventriloquism and puppet experience are a plus. |
| Sister Mary Leo (F[3]-G[5] Mezzo or Soprano range, Flexible show style) | Was a professional dancer before she entered the convent. Always eager to display her talent. She is also impressionable because she is young and could easily be lead astray. She entered the convent to become the first ballerina nun. Roller skating experience is a plus. |
Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays December 6-21.
