Theatre Tuscaloosa Presents SISTER ACT This Summer

Join Theatre Tuscaloosa this summer as they take audiences to heaven with Sister Act the musical, July 14-23, 2023, in the Bean-Brown Theatre on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College.

Sister Act will replace Matilda as Theatre Tuscaloosa's 2022-23 season finale. This joyous, flashy musical brings together different lifestyles and communities through music. Sister Act is sure to leave audiences with a "Sunday Monday Fever," and a skip in their step.

"With other theaters in town doing Matilda this spring, we decided to bring our audiences something new," Executive Director Tina Turley said. "We are thrilled to have secured the rights to this delightful musical that we know Tuscaloosa will love!"

Based on the 1992 hit movie featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act the musical is sure to bring joy and laughter to all audiences. Deloris Van Cartier is an aspiring singer in Philadelphia, who, after witnessing a murder by her gangster boyfriend, is placed in a witness protection program. The program lands Deloris in a nunnery where she has to hide her boisterous personality among self-contained nuns. After learning of the struggling choir in the nunnery, Deloris finds commonalities with her fellow nuns, transforming the choir into a faithful spectacle. As the choir gains notoriety, the police must work hard to protect Deloris from her murderous ex-boyfriend.

"Season ticket holders' Matilda tickets will be good for Sister Act," Managing Director Adam Miller said. "They'll have the same seat on the same date - only the title has changed."

Auditions for Sister Act will be held April 29th and 30th in the Wilson Carr Rehearsal hall. Those interested in auditioning should prepare 16 bars (measures) of a song in the style of the show, bring appropriate shoes and attire for the dance portion, and be prepared for cold readings from the script. All who audition must bring their calendars and list all conflicts regarding the rehearsal schedule on their audition sheets. More information about characters available can be found at theatretusc.com.
