• MATERIALS LINK:
• Here's a link to the soundtrack on You Tube for you to listen:

• PERCY TALBOTT – 20s to 30s. Strong-minded parolee determined to start over. Kind but feisty and perhaps a bit rough-edged, her past has given her wisdom and sadness beyond her years, (strong folk/country belt to 'D', and some head voice required.)
• HANNAH FERGUSON – 50s to 70s. The tough-skinned owner of the Spitfire Grill. A fiery old bird with a short, no-nonsense manner bordering on the bitter. (Mezzo/alto chest range.)
• SHELBY THORPE – 30s to 40s. Caleb's meek, but soulful, wife. She begins to show confidence under Percy's influence. A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. (Shimmering folk soprano with strong high belt to 'D'.)
• EFFY KRAYNECK – 40s to 50s. Gilead's Postmistress and resident busybody. A nosy and opinionated woman with narrow eyes and a sour tongue. (Solid singer in mezzo/alto chest range. Must be able to carry close harmony.)
• CALEB THORPE – 30s to 40s. Hannah's bitter nephew, an out-of-work foreman of the stone quarry. Fiercely protective of his aunt, he is frustrated as he loses control over most aspects of his life and tends to exert control over his wife. (Solid folk/rock baritone with an edge (Top 'G').
