A successful nurse because she’s warm\, practical and cares about people\, but doesn’t tend to pause and consider whether she ought to be less frank; a blurter. Enjoys her role as the local Yankee. \nLorraine Jensen (40s) – Lived here (a small town in Virginia) all her life. Has nine children\, at last count. Gently sarcastic and always good humored. \nBea Littleton (Late 40s to early 50s) – The wife of Pastor Hiram Littleton and happy to let you know it. He might be the pastor\, but it’s her church. \nJanet Murchison (35-40) – A New Jersey native who recently opened her own private investigation agency. Quick with a wisecrack and even quicker with ideas. Bea trusts her even though she dislikes doing so. \nLucille Orton (50s) – The widow of the late Reverend Joseph Orton of First Salvation Church. Bea’s blood rival. In appearance\, puritanical and scary. In tone\, sweetly menacing. Carrie Nation by way of Sue Ann Nivens. \nSYNOPSIS:\nChristmas\, 1977\, is only three weeks away\, and the ladies of the Charitable Sisterhood are preparing for Second Trinity Church’s annual Christmas Spectacular … but they’re having trouble staying focused on their preparations because there’s a criminal on the loose—someone has stolen the baby Jesus figure from his place in Second Trinity’s nativity scene. Sisterhood leader Bea Littleton is certain that the culprit is her longtime rival\, Lucille Orton\, from First Salvation (a place of extremely strict beliefs just up the road). Bea and the other sisterhood members decide that they need help getting to the bottom of things\, and they call in honorary member and private investigator Janet Murchison to delve more deeply into things and see if she can determine who the perpetrator is. By show time\, Janet is starting to think she knows exactly who is guilty of what … but the truth can’t be revealed until the end of the Spectacular. As a result\, we watch from both onstage and backstage\, as the sisterhood performs sacred songs and satirical skits (after all\, where else does Santa meet the Wise Men at the manger?). The fun doesn’t let up until the hilarious revelation at the show’s climax\, which leaves the audience and the sisterhood filled with the very best spirit of the Christmas season. \nAUDITIONS FOR THIS PRODUCTION WILL CONSIST OF COLD READINGS FROM THE SCRIPT. \n***************************************************************************\nThe Company OnStage\, Inc.
