7 roles
Appealing, if a bit rough-edged, her face declares the strength of her youth and a sadness beyond her years. Her accent has a southern Appalachian cadence. Strong folk singer.
About seventy. A flinty woman with a toughness that belies her years and a short, no-nonsense manner bordering on the bitter. Mezzo/alto range.
A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. Shimmering folk soprano.
Out-of-work foreman of the stone quarry. Earnest but frustrated working man clinging to a past he’s unable to recreate. Solid folk/rock voice.
A young small-town policeman with restless intensity and a deep undercurrent of regret for unfulfilled dreams. Strong folk tenor.
Postmistress and busybody, a woman whose prying eyes and sharp tongue serve as a protective shield for a lonely life. Solid singer in mezzo/alto range and carries close harmony.
A mysterious figure who never speaks. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.
