Director Mike Muller is seeking the following:

3 Adult Males
5 Adult Females
Ages: 20’s – 70’s+

Character	Age Range	Description
Mother Superior	50’s – 60’s	Stern, commanding, and suspicious. Unaware of the wine-making operation. Tries to maintain order amid growing paranoia and confusion.
Father Chenille	50’s – 60’s	Earnest and well-meaning priest. Often bewildered by the chaos around him. Adds to the confusion with his own misunderstandings and assumptions.
Sister Philamena	30’s – 50’s	A quirky, slightly ditzy nun. Secretly helps make wine to support the convent. Odd but endearing. Reluctant co-conspirator with a flair for comedic timing.
Sister Augusta	30’s – 50’s	Witty, resourceful, and a bit mischievous. She’s the more grounded of the wine-making duo, often balancing Sister Philamena’s scatterbrained antics with her own dry humor and quick thinking.
Sister Mary Catherine	20’s	New to the convent, bubbly and innocent with shifty eyes. Carries a secret that fuels much of the play’s chaos. Becomes increasingly unhinged as the farce unfolds.
George	20’s	Down-to-earth and observant. Often caught in the crossfire of mistaken identities and schemes. Adds a grounded, humorous contrast to the convent’s antics.
Sally	20’s – early 30’s	Investigative reporter and former fiancée to Paul. Goes undercover as a nun to expose the wine-making. Their romantic tension and sleuthing drive much of the plot’s momentum.
Paul	20’s – early 30’s	Investigative reporter and former fiancé to Sally. Goes undercover as a priest/nun/cardinal to expose the wine-making. Their romantic tension and sleuthing drive much of the plot’s momentum.
