Director Tom Width and Musical Director Shellie Johnson are seeking 6 actors (the role of Hannah Ferguson has been cast) for the Mill’s production of The Spitfire Grill, by James Valcq and Fred Alley.
The roles being cast are:
Percy Talbott: Early 20’. 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.
Shelby Thorpe: Mid-30’s. A plain, soft-faced creature with a shy, almost ethereal manner. Shimmering
folk soprano with strong high belt to “D”.
Caleb Thorpe: Early 40’s. Out-of-work foreman of the stone quarry. Frustrated working man clinging
to the past. Solid folk/rock voice with an edge. (Top “G”)
Sheriff Joe Sutter: Mid-late 20’s. A young small-town policeman with an appealing intensity and
a restless nature. Strong folk tenor to a “G”. (Touches an “A”)
Effy Krayneck: 50’s. Postmistress and busybody, a woman with narrow eyes and a sour tongue.
Solid singer in mezzo/alto range.
The Visitor: Mid-40’s. A mysterious figure who never speaks. An actor with powerful eyes and a very strong sense of his body.
Those auditioning should prepare 32 bars from a folk/country/rock song of their own choosing
(accompanist provided – please bring your sheet music!) as well as a 1-minute dramatic monologue.
