Characters
- Casting: 3M, 3F
- Casting Attributes: Ensemble cast, Flexible casting, Expandable casting
- Casting Notes: Chorus, one to three males, and one to three females, of various ages. Ideally with a range to enable them to handle a variety of material and characters in situations that are comic or straightforward, poetic, or that deal with memories of those we've loved and lost.The number of singers and the choice of music depends completely on the talent and training and time available. The choice of music should begin with this thought: Make it rich and challenging or make it simple, but make it work. Solos, duets, a chorus of four or more singers - males and female. What you will. Call it a Consort, a choir, or a trio or duet. This piece is an anthology of characters, so performers ideally should be capable of a wide variety of styles and characters. Demanding but tremedous fun.Should be played by flexible, talented actors. Performers who, if appropriate, can play range of ages.
