Reverend Mother is the Mother Superior of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. She tries to be strict and keep order, but things often get out of her control. She grew up in a circus family and her "showbiz" background and sense of humor always shine through her attempt at creating a tough exterior. She is a Sophie Tucker type-- a bit on the hefty side--- and still able to belt out a song. Age range late 40's -60's
Sister Mary Hubert is the Mistress of Novices and second in command to Reverend Mother. At times she finds it difficult to deal with problems she firmly believes are created by Reverend Mother's ineptness. She and Reverend Mother have a healthy and humorous rivalry. She is very practical. She should have a strong singing voice. Age range 30's-40's
Sister Robert Anne is a streetwise nun from Brooklyn, N.Y. She is one tough cookie, but has a heart and soul of gold. She feels she has real theatrical potential and is constantly frustrated by Reverend Mother's refusal to let her "star" in the show. She is also the voice of the puppet Sister Mary Annette during the Magic Act. Her voice should have a fairly-wide range, since she has the most varied songs in the show. Age range 30's-40's
Sister Mary Paul (a.k.a. Amnesia) was hit on the head with a crucifix and for a long period didn't remember who she was. Now she is a country singer who jump- started her career by being the first nun to appear on thr Grand Ole Opry. Though her memory is back, she always seems to be a "little vacant" but innocently endearing. She is the voice of the puppet Sister Mary Annette in"Mae's Moment." She is a bit daffy like Goldie Hawn or Gracie Allen. Age range late 20's-30's
Howard Liszt is a professional actor and singer who was to appear as Tevye in the ship's production of "Fiddler on the Roof." Although he has been in show business for many years, he has had limited contact with real show business nuns. He may not be the best Tevye but he would be a fantastic singing-game-show-host. Age range late 30's-mid 50's
