The Community Theatre League (CTL), in collaboration with the Lycoming College Music Department and with support from the Pennsylvania College of Technology, is thrilled to present Sister Act: The Musical as part of Student Summer Stock from July 11–13, 2025.
This uplifting and comedic production will showcase the talents of local high school students, currently in grades 9–12, in a spectacular performance filled with soulful music, dynamic choreography, and a heartwarming story.
Directed by Seth Sponhouse, CTL’s Executive Artistic Director, with Assistant Director Seth Confer, Music Direction by Lycoming College Faculty Sarah Keely Decker, and Pit Conducting by William Ciabattari, Sister Act: The Musical promises an unforgettable experience of laughter, joy, and powerhouse vocals.
Auditions for the production will take place on May 11 and 12 at the Trachte Music Center on Lycoming College’s campus. Aspiring performers from local high schools are encouraged to audition for this exciting opportunity to be part of a full-scale musical production in a professional theater setting.
“We are so excited to bring Sister Act to the Community Arts Center stage,” said Seth Sponhouse. “This show is an electrifying mix of humor, heart, and show-stopping music, and this collaboration with Lycoming College and Penn College will make it an incredible experience for both our cast and audience.”
Based on the hit 1992 film, Sister Act: The Musical follows disco diva Deloris Van Cartier as she finds herself in protective custody at a convent, transforming the choir and the community with her larger-than-life personality and powerful voice. Featuring original music by Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), this feel-good musical is packed with gospel-inspired songs and non-stop entertainment.
