Percy Talbott

(Mid 20’s)

Pretty, if a bit rough-edged, her face declares the strength of her youth and sadness beyond her years. Her accent has a southern Appalachian cadence. Strong folk/country belt to ‘D’, some head voice required.

Hannah Ferguson

(55+)

A tough-skinned and flinty old bird with a short, no-nonsense manner bordering the bitter. Mezzo/alto chest range.

Shelby Thorpe

(30’s)

A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. Shimmering folk soprano with strong high belt to ‘D’.

Caleb Thorpe

(Early 40’s)

Out-of-work foreman of the stone quarry. Frustrated working man clinging to the past. Solid folk/rock voice with an edge (Top ‘G’).

Sheriff Joe Sutter

(20’s-30’s)

A small-town policeman with an appealing intensity and a restless nature. Strong folk tenor to a ‘G’ (touches an ‘A’).

Effy Krayneck

(40+) 

Postmistress and busybody, a woman with narrow eyes and a sour tongue. Solid singer in mezzo/alto chest range. (Carries close harmony).

The Visitor

( 40+) 

A mysterious figure who never speaks. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.
