SISTER ACT Cast List

by Hard Road Admin | May 24, 2017 | Casting

Thank you to everyone who came out to audition for SISTER ACT! Casting is the single most important decision a director can make and often the most difficult. We had almost 40 people audition for SISTER ACT and I am very, very impressed with the talent that was displayed over the past two nights. To all of you who came out, you should be proud of yourselves. We are going to have a phenomenal show and the vocal numbers of this production are going to blow the audience away. I’m very excited to be working with all of you and I hope you are, too. This amazing summer is about to begin. So, without further ado, below is the cast list for SISTER ACT. If you do not wish to accept your role, please contact me (Evan) personally by 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 24th (send me a message at evan@hardroad.org or call or text me at 217-556-6399). If I have not heard from you, it will be assumed you have accepted your role in the show. The read-through will be in the choir room (where auditions were) on Thursday, May 25th at 7:00 p.m. I look forward to seeing you all there! -Evan Fifer, Director

Please note, there are some pieces of sung dialogue that will be assigned to various nuns later in the rehearsals. Also, if you are a female ensemble member, you will be singing the nun songs backstage and if you are a male ensemble member you will be singing backstage as backup for some of the male singing numbers.
