Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need
of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show,

“Grease.” Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the
Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a
novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost
her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Featuring star turns,tap and ballet dancing, an audience
quiz, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon.
Roles Available:
Sister Mary Regina, Mother Superior - A feisty Sophie Tucker-type who can't resist the spotlight.
Sister Mary Hubert, Mistress of Novices - The second in command who is always
competing with Mother Superior.
Sister Robert Anne - A streetwise, tough character, and a constant source
of aggravation for the Mother Superior.
Sister Mary Amnesia - This nun lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head, but she is very sweet.

become the first nun ballerina.

 
Once Upon A Mattress
Theatre Group: Center Stage Theatre
Audition Dates: June 2 & 4 at 7pm
Production Dates: July 29 – August 3
Directed by Lynne Synder

Synopsis: If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a
walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to
reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling
reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the
princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic
and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for
some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are, you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

Production Dates: Oct 3-5, 10-12
Directed by Joshua Cook
Synopsis: Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and
Willie Reale's musical A Year With Frog And Toad. Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel,
A Year With Frog And Toad remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends,
the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from
hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons
along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each
of us different and special. A score that bubbles with melody and wit, it's jazzy upbeat sound is a
perfect match for the hopping, crawling and flying denizens that inhabit Frog and Toad's world.

Synopsis: The Miracle Worker opens with a doctor assuring Captain Keller and his wife Kate that
their infant daughter, Helen, will recover from a serious f ever. Soon after the doctor leaves, however,
Kate realizes that Helen is deaf and blind. In the next scene, Helen is about six years old. She is a wild,
undisciplined child. Though they try, her parents are unable to help or control her. In desperation they hire a
young woman, Annie Sullivan. From the moment Annie arrives, it is clear that she and Helen will be gripped in
a great struggle. But Helen is not the only problem for Annie. Annie must also convince the Kellers, especially

language is the key to gaining access to Helen's mind, and the play tells the inspiring story of her successful efforts.
