PERCY TALBOTT - Early twenties. 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.
HANNAH FERGUSON - About seventy. 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.
SHELBY THORPE - Mid-thirties. A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. Shimmering folk soprano with strong high belt to “D.”
CALEB THORPE - Early forties. Out-of-work foreman of the stone quarry. Earnest but frustrated working man clinging to a past he’s unable to recreate. Fervid, solid folk/rock voice (Top “G”).
SHERIFF JOE SUTTER - Mid/late twenties. A young small-town policeman with restless intensity and a deep undercurrent of regret for unfulfilled dreams. Strong folk tenor to a “G” (touches an “A”).
EFFY KRAYNECK - Fifties. Postmistress and busybody, a woman whose prying eyes and sharp tongue serve as a protective shield for a lonely life. Solid singer in mezzo/alto chest range (carries close harmony).
THE VISITOR - Mid-forties. A mysterious figure who never speaks. Powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.
