Breakdown
Casting: 13 Males and 1 female
Male performers between the ages of 18-60. Comfortable potentially playing multiple roles.
Female performers between the ages of 25-45.
Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Jesse: Early to Mid 40’s-The “golden boy” of the Marine Corps. Jessep is a combat veteran who has risen in rank faster than others contemporary to his age and years of service. He is expected to be appointed Director of Operations for the National Security Council. This would be an extremely powerful and prestigious staff assignment.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Daniel Kaffee: Mid to late 20’s-Attended Harvard Law School on a Navy scholarship. Son of a legendary, popular and politically connected Civil Rights lawyer.
Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway: Mid 30’s-Described as a “harmless neurotic,” Galloway is a detail oriented lawyer who lacks an eye for savvy courtroom tactics.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Sam Weinberg: Mid to late 20’s -Young JAG attorney, close friend to Kaffee. Sam was always the smartest kid in the class. Sam’s observations give voice to the play’s moral/ethical conflicts.
Captain Jack Ross:Late 20’s to Early 30’s-Experienced and talented JAG attorney/prosecutor. Professional and detached, Ross knows how to try a good case.
Commander Walter Stone: Mid 40’s-Career Navy physician. Loyal to Jessep. Expert witness with very important testimony at trial.
Private First Class Louden Downey: 18-19-Downey has been in the Marine Corps for ten months. He has no close family members outside the Corps. Not particularly outgoing or vocal, he responds well to his squad leader, Dawson.

Lance Corporal Harold W. Dawson:19 -23-Dawson is a very good leader, who was held back from promotion after he defied Kendrick’s questionable disciplinary orders. Lives by a simple code, valuing honor and personal integrity. Accused of murdering Santiago.
Major Matthew A. Markinson:40’s-Older than Jessep, yet outranked by him. He’s served 21 years in the USMC, and is second in command at GITMO.
