a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization
announces open auditions for its upcoming production of
“AVA RICE AND THE EIGHTH SIN”
A NEW MUSICAL
book and lyrics by PEDRO AMARAL
Deep in the Underworld, seven overworked accountants (one for each of the Seven Deadly Sins)
are drowning in humanity’s bad behavior - and the paperwork that comes with it.
That’s when a determined rookie accountant named Avarice heads down to Earth to study humans and
identify a new, eighth sin to help spread the workload. But what she uncovers doesn’t just break the rules — it threatens the fate of humanity itself!
From writer Pedro Amaral (Radio Star, Noses Off!) comes a wickedly funny new musical that dives headfirst into sin, chaos, and the flaws that make us human.

THE SIN ACCOUNTANTS
Seven supernatural beings, each the physical embodiment of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. They work together as accountants in the Underworld, keeping track of humanity’s moral failings. They are:
AVARICE (F 18-25, soprano with pop belt)
Our lead character, and the youngest sin accountant: a bubbly, confident overachiever (think Cher Horowitz meets Hermione Granger) full of wide-eyed optimism. Certain she’s destined for greatness...until her journey forces her to question what greatness actually means.LUST (Any gender, any age, alto/tenor)
The seductive, high-powered manager of the Department of Human Transgressions. Simply put, the head bitch in charge. An edgy dominatrix with a commanding, nefarious personality and strong comic instincts.SLOTH (M, 20-30, baritenor)[Doubles as DONNIE]
A stoner, friendly when he’s awake, but almost always asleep.GLUTTONY (F, Teens/20s, mezzo soprano) [Doubles as PATRICIA/LUNCH LADY]
A tiny little girl with a huge appetite for food AND for gossip.ENVY (F, Teens/20s, soprano) [Doubles as ANDREA/LUNCH LADY]
A bratty, jealous menace who throws tantrums like a toddler.PRIDE (M, Teens/20s, tenor) [Doubles as MIKE]
A vain, self-centered egomaniac with a sense of humor.
THE HUMANS
Student, faculty, and staff at Pope Gregory High School, class of 1989.
CHAD BOOKER (M, 18-25, baritenor)[Doubles as ORIGINAL SLOTH]
The most popular senior at Pope Gregory High. Handsome, athletic, incredibly charismatic and impossibly naive.SANDY DUVALL (F, 18-25, soprano with pop belt)
The smartest girl in school. An overachieving senior poised to be valedictorian. Driven and judgmental of those who don’t work as hard as she does.LULU (F, 40s-60s, character alto)
A lunch lady at Pope Gregory High, with a big, brassy personality, a sharp tongue, and a motherly heart. She’s a former Sin Accountant who now lives as a human on Earth and guides the current Sin Accountants on how to pass as humans.
The roles of WRATH, TAMMY, XANDER, and MR. FRANCIS are not available.
