Richard Rodgers Award finalist. Original music-theater piece about an American Civil War widow who journeys to Japan in 1879. While there, she falls in love with a renowned Japanese tattoo artist who, by drawing on her entire body and turning her into a work of art, unwittingly puts her life in danger.

Seeking the following available roles only:

Akira:

Japanese man, early - mid 20s. Smart, eager and enthusiastic. A young medical student who serves as an assistant – and sometime lover – to a professor visiting from the United States. Tenor, to G.

President U. S. Grant:

Caucasian man, 50s-60s. Stately and presidential. A general who does not mince words, has seen the hell of war, and has a strong tolerance for bourbon. Baritone.

Ernest:

Caucasian man, mid 30s. Sophisticated, Harvard-educated professor, living abroad. Attractive, rakish. In the expat tradition, he has secrets, and an unusually honed genius. A cynic. Not a traditional, handsome leading man, but charismatic and seductive in his own way. High baritone/baritenor (must be able to easily hit soft Fs and Gs on occasion).
