Sister Act Jr Cast of Characters
The Sister Act Jr cast list includes a powerhouse lead role, strong female ensemble opportunities, comic villains, featured nuns, backup singers, altar boys, street people, and congregation members. This show works especially well for schools with confident singers and students who enjoy big personality roles. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Quick Casting Insight: Sister Act Jr works best when you have a dynamic Deloris, a strong Mother Superior, a vocally powerful Mary Robert, a funny Mary Patrick, a deadpan Mary Lazarus, and a large group of nuns who can grow from timid choir members into a joyful, confident ensemble.
Deloris Van Cartier
Deloris is a strong, streetwise aspiring singer who gets caught up with the wrong crowd. After witnessing a crime involving her ex-boyfriend, she is placed in witness protection as a nun. Deloris is reluctant at first, but her time with the sisters changes her. Cast a great actress and wonderful singer in this powerhouse role.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–E5
Tina
Tina is one of Deloris’s backup singers. These featured roles are perfect for enthusiastic performers who may not be ready for a larger role but can sing well and handle speaking lines. Tina can also be added to the nun ensemble later in the show.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Ab3–Db5
Nina
Nina is one of Deloris’s backup singers and part of the featured girl group. Cast a solid singer with confidence and stage presence.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Ab3–Db5
Elle
Elle is one of Deloris’s backup singers. This role is a good fit for an enthusiastic performer who can sing, speak clearly, and bring fun group energy.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Ab3–Db5
Michelle
Michelle is one of Deloris’s backup singers. Cast a solid singer who is comfortable in a featured group role and can later support the larger ensemble if needed.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Ab3–Db5
Curtis Jackson
Curtis is mean, dishonest, dangerous, and has Deloris on his radar. Since Curtis does not sing a solo, cast a fantastic actor who can make the most of playing the bad guy.
Gender: Male
Joey
Joey is the wise guy in Curtis’s group. He is an upbeat charmer who always has a joke, even though he is one of Curtis’s criminals. Cast a charismatic, funny actor with a great singing voice.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: D3–B3
TJ
TJ is not the brightest member of Curtis’s crew, and the audience is meant to laugh at his expense. Cast a solid comedic actor with strong chemistry alongside Joey and Pablo.
Gender: Male
Pablo
Pablo is the strong, silent member of Curtis’s group and leans into his role as the muscle. He has a few lines and some singing, but most importantly should complete the trio with Joey and TJ.
Gender: Male
Ernie
Ernie is one of Curtis’s thugs and unfortunately takes the fall for being a police informant. This is a featured acting role. If your program is short on male actors, Ernie may be doubled later as an Altar Boy or Monsignor O’Hara, as long as the audience can clearly tell the characters apart.
Gender: Male
Cop
The Cop is the first person to talk to Deloris about Ernie’s murder. This is a featured role for a performer who may be new to the stage.
Eddie Souther
Eddie is the quintessential good guy with a heart of gold. Though Deloris overlooked him in high school, he never got over his crush, creating awkward but endearing moments. Cast an excellent actor, singer, and dancer who can portray this hardworking, sweet, dependable cop.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Ab2–F4
Mother Superior
Mother Superior is the devoted leader of the convent. Her church and sisters come first, and she is not afraid to voice her opinion. She eventually comes around regarding Deloris. This is a major role for an excellent singer and actress who can portray strength, discipline, and eventual warmth.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–D5
Monsignor O'Hara
Monsignor O’Hara is the charming spiritual leader of Queen of Angels Cathedral. He wants to save the church and is willing to house Deloris if it helps. He does not sing a solo, so cast an actor with charisma, comic timing, and strong stage presence.
Gender: Male
Mary Patrick
Mary Patrick is upbeat, enthusiastic, over the top, and always looking on the bright side. She has several solos within songs, so cast a good singer and actor who can bring big joyful energy to the role.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–E5
Mary Robert
Mary Robert is the youngest inhabitant of the abbey, shy and soft-spoken at first. Her friendship with Deloris helps her find her voice. Cast a powerhouse singer and great actor in this important role.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–E5
Mary Lazarus
Mary Lazarus is one of the older nuns and leads the choir. She is deadpan and not especially welcoming to Deloris at first, though Deloris’s love of music eventually wins her over. Cast a great character actor with comic timing who is comfortable with character singing.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–C5
Mary Martin-Of-Tours
Mary Martin-Of-Tours lives in her own world and has wonderful standout moments, including a memorable karate chop. She does not sing a solo, so cast a strong actor who can make bold character choices.
Gender: Female
Mary Celeste
Mary Celeste is one of the convent’s cooks. She has featured solos, so cast a confident singer.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: B3–D5
Mary Irene
Mary Irene is one of the convent’s cooks along with Mary Celeste. She has featured solos, so cast a confident singer.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: C4–D5
Mary Stephen
Mary Stephen is a nun with a fantastic singing voice and supports Deloris’s music from the start. Cast a great singer.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: C4–E5
Mary Theresa
Mary Theresa is the oldest nun in the convent. She has a few featured lines and a small solo, making this a good opportunity for someone new to the stage who is comfortable singing in a group.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: D4–B4
Nuns
The Nuns, including Nun 1, Nun 2, and Nun 3, help fill out the world of the convent. These featured nuns have solos, so cast performers ready for a spotlight moment.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G4–D5
Ensemble
Ensemble roles include additional Nuns, Altar Boys, Street People, Angry Street Person, and Members of the Congregation. These roles help create the contrast between Deloris’s outside world and the convent community.
Gender: Any
