Female (Early to mid-twenties) – Pretty, but a bit rough-edged, her face declares her youth and a sadness beyond her years. Her accent has a southern Appalachian cadence. Strong folk/country belt to D with some head voice required.
Female (around 70) – A tough-skinned and flinty old bird with a short, no-nonsense manner bordering on the bitter. Mezzo/alto chest range.
Female (Late 20s to mid 30s) – A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. Shimmering folk soprano with strong high belt to D.
Male (Early 30s to early 40s) – Out of work foreman of the stone quarry. Frustrated working man clinging to the past. Solid folk/rock voice with an edge.
Male (Mid to late 20s) – A young, small-town policeman with an appealing intensity and a restless nature. Strong folk tenor to a G (touches an A).
Female (around 50) – Postmistress and busybody, a woman with narrow eyes and a sour tongue. Solid singer in mezzo/alto chest range (carries close harmony).
Male (40s) – A mysterious figure who never speaks. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body (no lines).
