Auditions for the musical Sister Act are set

The Green Room Community Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for Sister Act..

Auditions will be held February 25 & 26 at 7 PM. You only need to attend one night of auditions.

Sister Act is a feel-good musical comedy based on the 1992 film with Whoopi Goldberg, set in the fabulous late-1970s Philadelphia. When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she’s placed in protective custody where she won’t be found: a convent. Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with the rigid lifestyle of Mother Superior. Using her unique talents, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, ultimately blowing her cover. Will Deloris and her newly found sisterhood be a match when the murderer shows up?

All roles in Sister Act are open to actors ages 16 and up. All ethnicities are welcome. The play is chocked full of amazing roles for women and men of all ages. We need strong singers and dancers who enjoy gospel music, harmonizing, outrageous 1970’s disco dancing, and just like to REJOICE!
