27 roles
(Male-presenting, Vocal Range: Tenor; strong blues voice, gritty and haunting): Leroy Johnnie is a passionate and driven bluesman whose talent flows directly from his soul. Ambitious yet troubled, Leroy stands at the precipice of greatness and self-destruction, his eyes always gleaming with the hunger for more. His journey is deeply infused with the lore of the Delta blues, embodying his craft's joys and pains. "ME AND THE DEVIL"
(Female-presenting, Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano to Alto; soulful and bluesy): Clara is a mysterious, alluring figure who embodies strength and vulnerability. She radiates a deep, almost otherworldly charisma that suggests she knows more than she lets on. Her presence is mesmerizing as she weaves through the worlds of the living and the supernatural, carrying an enigmatic connection to Robert Johnson’s fate. "ME AND THE DEVIL"
Ageless – but often appears in the form of someone late 30s-50s, Vocal Range: Baritone to Bass, with a rich, deep timbre that commands attention): The Devil is a humorous, smooth-talking, charismatic figure who is as charming as dangerous. With a smile that could cut glass, he represents the dark temptations that lure those who dare to dream too big. He is articulate, calculating, and cunning, always seeming to know what to say to push Robert toward his destiny. "ME AND THE DEVIL"
(Male-presenting): Husband to Annette and father to son, Benjamin. Alan might be the most stereotypical character of the group in that he is modeled after other slimy lawyers from countless other stories. He is the most openly rude because he frequently interrupts their meeting by talking on his cell phone. "GOD OF CARNAGE"
(Female-presenting): Wife to Alan and mother to son, Benjamin. Constantly on the brink of a panic attack, anxiety makes her physically ill. Feels abandoned by her husband who is eternally preoccupied with work. Annette is the most physically destructive of the four characters. "GOD OF CARNAGE"
(Male-presenting): Husband to Victoria and father to son, Henry. At first, Michael seems eager to create peace between the two boys and perhaps even bond with the other couple. He is quick to agree, even making light of the violence, commenting on how he was a leader of his own gang during his childhood. "GOD OF CARNAGE"
(Female-presenting): Wife to Michael and mother to son, Henry. At first, she seems like the most benevolent of the bunch. Instead of resorting to litigation regarding her son Henry’s injury, she believes that they can all come to an agreement about how Benjamin should make amends for his attack. Of the four principles, Veronica exhibits the strongest desire for harmony. "GOD OF CARNAGE"

(Female-presenting): Amanda’s daughter and Tom’s older sister, Laura suffers the results of a childhood illness which left one of her legs malformed and in a brace. As a result, Laura is painfully shy and has withdrawn herself from the outside world. She is much like her beloved glass figurines: delicate and frail. "THE GLASS MENAGERIE"
