Get your '˜Sister' Act together and head to Louth

If you fancy yourself as a nun, a gangster, an altar boy or if you’ve never been in a musical before, go along to auditions at the theatre on Monday, January 18, and Tuesday, January 19, at 7.30pm, with call backs on January 20.

Show dates are May 18 to May 28, with rehearsals taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays so you need to be available for those every week, from January 26.

Sister Act is being performed at Louth Playgoers Riverhead Theatre this May, and we need you!

Based on the 1992 film of the same name, Sister Act tells the story of aspiring disco diva Deloris Van Cartier.

Trying to work her way to the top in 1970s Philadelphia, Deloris falls in love with a very tough—and very married—gangster boyfriend named Curtis, and when Deloris witnesses him commit a murder she ends up in hiding on police orders in a convent whose parish has fallen on hard times.

Though the sequin-free lifestyle doesn’t agree with her, Deloris finds her calling working with the choir, and breathes new life into the dusty convent while discovering a sisterhood she’s never had before.

Audition pieces can be found at www.louthplaygoers.com/files/sisteract and it would be beneficial to take a look at these and maybe try and learn at least the chorus piece before the auditions.
