| Show Description: This farce by Tom Smith concerns two nuns who have been secretly making wine to keep their convent's doors open, but reporters Paul and Sally are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. |

| Available Roles |
| Mother Superior (F 50+) |
Stern, commanding, and suspicious. She is unaware of the wine-making operation. She tries to maintain order amid growing paranoia and confusion. |
|
|
| Father Chenille (M 50+) |
Earnest and well-meaning priest who also fancies himself as a magician, even though he's not very good at it. Often bewildered by the chaos around him. Adds to the confusion with his own misunderstandings and assumptions. |
|
|
| Sister Augusta (F 20-50) |
Witty, resourceful, and a bit mischievous, and the brains of the winemaking operation. |
|
|
| Sister Philomena (F 20-50) |
A quirky, slightly ditzy nun, who secretly helps make wine to support the convent. Odd but endearing and reluctant co-conspirator with a flair for comedic timing. |
|
|
| Sally (F 20-30) |
Investigative reporter who goes undercover as a nun to expose the winemaking. |
|
|
| Paul (M 20-30) |
Investigative reporter and former fiance to Sally. Goes undercover as a priest/nun/cardinal to expose the winemaking. Their romantic tension and sleuthing drive much of the plot's momentum. |
|
|
| George (M 20-30) |
Down-to-earth and observant caretaker at the convent. Often caught in the crossfire of mistaken identities and schemes. Adds a grounded, humorous contrast to the convent's antics. |
|
|
| Sister Mary Catherine (F 20-30) |
New to the convent, bubbly and innocent. Carries a secret that fuels much of the play's chaos. Becomes increasingly unhinged as the farce unfolds. |

Do I have to prepare for auditions? |
|
|
Play auditions generally do not require advance preparation, however it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the play and parts that are available to see which character suits you best. Actors may be asked to perform monologues, or may be asked to read from the selected script and to interact with other performers during the audition process, at the discretion of the director. For musicals, you will be asked to bring your own piece of prepared music. Most singers use sheet music, and an accompanist will be provided for you.
If you have one, we recommend providing a resume/CV/headshot at the audition. You will be given an audition form to fill out as well.
Most auditions will be held openly, however certain directors may require closed auditions for certain productions.

When are rehearsals? |
|
|
Theatre Box production rehearsals occur Monday and Wednesday evenings, typically from 7:30 - 9:30 PM. All schedules are subject to change. Some rehearsals may be on weekends. Technical rehearsals are more frequent closer to show dates. The average rehearsal period is eight weeks before the show opens.
|
|
|
How long do rehearsals last? |
|
|
Rehearsal times may vary depending on the time of year. Most rehearsals will run approximately 2 hours. Every effort is made early in the rehearsal process to target specific performers at specific times, to minimize “down time” for performers at rehearsals.
