NON-UNION CASTING BREAKDOWN:

PERCY TALBOTT – 20s - 30s Strong-minded parolee determined to start over. Kind but feisty and perhaps a bit rough-edged, her past has given her wisdom and sadness beyond her years, (strong folk/country belt to 'D', and some head voice required.)

HANNAH FERGUSON – 50s - 70. The tough-skinned owner of the Spitfire Grill. A fiery older bird with a short, no-nonsense manner bordering on the bitter. (Mezzo/alto chest range.)

SHELBY THORPE – 30s - 40s. Caleb's meek, but soulful, wife. She begins to show confidence under Percy's influence. A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. (Shimmering folk soprano with strong high belt to 'D'.)

EFFY KRAYNECK – 40s to 50s. Gilead's Postmistress and resident busybody. A nosy and opinionated woman with narrow eyes and a sour tongue. (Solid singer in mezzo/alto chest range. Must be able to carry close harmony.)

CALEB THORPE – 30s - 40s. Hannah's bitter nephew, an out-of-work foreman of the stone quarry. Fiercely protective of his aunt, he is frustrated as he loses control over most aspects of his life and tends to exert control over his wife. (Solid folk/rock baritone with an edge (Top 'G').

THE VISITOR – 40s - early 50's. An important, central, nonspeaking role requiring very strong acting ability. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.

The Role of JOE SUTTER has been cast.
