seeking:
FRANKLIN SHEPARD
Male, 20s-30s. Charming and appealing, a gifted composer. As we travel back in time, he is revealed as obsessively ambitious.

CHARLEY KRINGAS
Male, 20s-30s. Franklin’s closest friend and collaborator. Idolizes and loves Franklin, but he is not a man who will compromise art for commercial success.

Baritone to G.
