Monsignor O’Hara – Male – Supporting. Baritone. Between 40 and 60. The Monsignor will try anything to raise money to save the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.
The following AEA role is cast. Seeking possible emergency replacements only:
Mother Superior – Female – Lead. Mezzo-Soprano. Between early 50s to early 70s. Mother Superior is the head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff.
