Auditions
The Stampede Troupe welcomes actors of all levels to audition for our productions. Whether you come from a strong theatre background or have never performed on a stage before, we welcome you to try out. We are always looking for talent. You do not have to be a 'triple threat' (a great singer, dancer, or actor) to be in a Stampede Troupe show. There are often non-singing or non-dancing roles in musicals or times when we need really good dancers that don't need to act - of course, there is no singing or dancing in a play so there is truly a place for everyone!

ABOUT THE SHOW
Nunsense is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise soup prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.
AUDITIONS
Auditions will consist of a vocal audition (submitted via video) and an in-person callback on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 10am to 2pm. Callbacks will include prepared and cold readings from the script, as well as dance.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Sister Mary Regina (Mother Superior): A feisty, Sophie Tucker-type who can't resist the spotlight. As the head of the convent, she is respected greatly by the sisters. She tries to convince you that she is strict, but everyone knows that her "bark is worse than her bite.” She keeps her guard up in front of the nuns but has an extroverted side as well.
Role requires: * Plays age 40s-60s. * Requires some very physical humor. * An Irish accent is a plus but not required. * Voice part: Alto. Jazz/Swing Style. * Dance: musical theatre choreography.
Sister Mary Hubert (Mistress of Novices): Hubert is in charge of novices but fancies herself a Mother Superior and is constant competition with Mary Regina. She exudes maternal wisdom to novices but also likes to let loose. She is kind and always tries to be understanding and diplomatic.
Role requires: * Plays Age 30s-60s. * Voice part: Mezzo Soprano Belt. Gospel Style. Must be able to hold a harmony. * Dance: musical theatre choreography and tap.
Sister Robert Anne: Once a child delinquent herself, this tough, streetwise nun has a heart of gold. She is adored by the students she teaches because she speaks their language. She is a constant source of aggravation for Mother Superior. She speaks with a Brooklyn accent and constantly displays her lack of refinement.
Role requires: * Plays Age 30s-40s * Vocal part: Mezzo Soprano Belt. Ballad Style. Must be able to hold a harmony. * Dance: musical theatre choreography and tap.
Sister Mary Amnesia: She is the picture of innocence. Amnesia lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. She can’t remember her past, and so she looks at each day with childlike joy. She does not know who she is except that she is a nun. She has a puppet alter ego named Sister Mary Annette.
Role requires: * Plays Age 30s-50s * Vocal part: Soprano Belt. Classical/Opera, Country Style. Must be able to hold a harmony. * Dance: musical theatre choreography and tap. * Ventriloquism and puppet experience are a plus but not required.
Sister Mary Leo: Leo is the novice nun who has entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun ballerina. Still learning the way and coming to terms with her decision to give up "civilian" life, she deems herself quite the ballerina and displays her talents through much of the show. She is easily swayed to join in mischief.
Role requires: * Plays Age 20s-30s * Vocal part: Mezzo Soprano. Must be able to hold a harmony. * Dance: musical theatre choreography, tap. Though not required ballet and pointe is a plus OR the ability to learn basic ballet steps and portray them believably.
