When forced to hide in a convent\, she initially refuses to embrace her lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed\, and sassy\, but ultimately caring. \nMother Superior (F – 50-70\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: D3-E5) The head of the convent\, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world\, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings. \nSister Mary Robert (F – 16-25\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: F#3-A5) A postulant\, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life. \nSister Mary Patrick (F – 35-50\, All Ethnicities) A nun of the convent. Consistently perky\, enthusiastic\, and easily excitable. \nSister Mary Lazarus (F – 50-70\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: F3-B4) A nun of the convent and the head of the choir.

Constantly concerned with financial matters\, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood. Speaks with the soulful bass-baritone of Barry White or a late night R&B radio station DJ. \nCurtis (M – 30-40\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: A2-Ab4) A Club owner\, notorious gangster\, and Deloris’s boyfriend. Cocky and controlling\, always on the verge of violence. \nEddie Souther (M – 25-35\,  Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: Ab2-B4) The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure\, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years\, and dreams of being her hero. \nTJ (M – 16-30\, Ethnicity: African American\, Vocal Range: Db3-Eb5) Curtis’s nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact\, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss. \nJoey (M – 30-40\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Bb2-Eb5) One of Curtis’s thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies man. \nPablo (M – 25-40\, Ethnicity: Latinx\, Vocal Range: C4-F5) One of Curtis’s thugs. A natural follower\, constantly speaks Spanish. \nSister Mary Martin-of-tours (F– 40-60\, All Ethnicities) A Nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world\, but has her moments of surprising clarity. \nSister Mary Theresa (F– 60-70\, All Ethnicities) A nun of the convent\, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at first glance but secretly packs a punch. \nMichelle (F– 20-30\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Bb3-F5) One of Deloris’s back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. \nTina (F– 20-30\, All Ethnicities\, Vocal Range: Ab3-F5) One of Deloris’s back-up singers. A little thick and naïve. \nErnie (M – 25-35\, All Ethnicities) One of Curtis’s thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man\, he turns out to be an undercover police informant. \nEnsemble (All Ages\, All Ethnicities) Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron\, Waitress\, Pool Player\, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers; Alter Boys

When Claude receives his draft notice\, he must decide whether to join his friends in resisting the draft\, or bow to the pressures of society and his conservative parents\, thereby sacrificing his ideals and\, possibly\, his life.
