Based on the hit 1992 film and Tony-nominated Broadway musical, Sister Act JR. is the feel-good musical comedy that will have audiences jumping to their feet! Featuring original music by Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors),
When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Audition Information
Auditions are required in order to assess each individual actor’s comfort level as a performer, evaluate their skills and find the role that will best fit their personality and talent.
What to Expect– Each participant will sing a musical theatre song of their choice, perform an excerpt from the show (provided by the director), and dance a routine taught by the choreographer. The program supervisor, choreographer, music director/accompanist, and director, as well as other actors auditioning in the same group, may be present during auditions.
What to Prepare- All participants should prepare 30-45 seconds of a musical theatre song. Sheet music must be provided by the participant.
