7 roles
Percy is pretty, 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/country belt to "D," some head voice required.
About seventy. Hannah is the owner of the Spitfire Grill. She is a gray-haired, flinty woman with a toughness that belies her years and a short, no-nonsense manner bordering on the bitter. Mezzo/alto chest range
Mid-thirties. Shelby is a plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. She is the wife of Caleb Thorpe. Shimmering folk soprano with strong high belt to "D."
The out-of-work foreman of the now-defunct stone quarry. Caleb is an earnest but frustrated working man clinging to a past he's unable to recreate. Fervid, solid folk/rock voice (Top "G").
Joe is a young, small-town policeman with a restless intensity and a deep undercurrent of regret for unfulfilled dreams. Strong folk tenor to a "G" (touches an "A").
Effy is postmistress and the town busybody. A woman whose prying eyes and sharp tongue serve as a protective shield for a lonely life. There’s little to gossip about in a town so small, but when there is, she is the source. Solid singer in mezzo/alto chest range (carries close harmony).
Mid-forties. A mysterious figure who never speaks. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.
