Characters, Approximate Ages, and Vocal Ranges

Ages are for the characters and are approximate.

All roles are open to all races and ethnicities.

If you are not sure of your vocal range, please audition anyway. We can figure it out.

• Percy Talbot (Mezzo, occasionally up to light F in some phrases, early to mid 20s)
  A feisty parolee desperate to start over. Her past has given her wisdom and sadness beyond her years.
• Hannah Ferguson (Character Mezzo/Alto, 60+)
  The tough-skinned owner of the Spitfire Grill, a widow with a short, no-nonsense manner.
• Shelby Thorpe (Soprano, light folk sound, 30s)
  Caleb’s meek and shy but soulful wife. She begins to show confidence under Percy’s influence.
• Effy Krayneck (Mezzo/Alto, 40s or 50s)
  Nosy and opinionated postmistress. Must carry close harmonies.
• Joe Sutter (Folk tenor to G/A, mid 20s to mid 30s)
  The local sheriff and Percy’s parole officer. He has an appealing intensity and a restless nature.
• Caleb Thorpe (Folk/rock baritone to G, mid 30s to early 40s)
  Hannah’s bitter and frustrated nephew and former foreman of the stone quarry. Frustrated as he loses control over most aspects of his life, he exerts control over his wife.
• The Visitor (40s)
  A mysterious figure who never speaks. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.
