A realist who knows what it is to be used up and left\, yet somehow still glows with a few embers of life’s possibilities; she is fiercely devoted to Vera. \nCANEWELL (M\, 35+\, African American) A harmonica player.  Floyd’s best friend yet still feeling the sting of Floyd’s betrayal.  He is edgy\, cautious and has a big heart.  He is fiercely devoted to Vera. (Ability to play harmonica a plus.) \nRED CARTER (M\, 35+\, African American) Floyd’s friend and drummer.  A simple\, steady man who indulges superstitions.  Currently in the middle of seven years of bad luck because of a mirror he broke.  He hails from Alabama and truly enjoys a good time. \nVERA (F\, 30-40\, African American) A true woman in temperament.  Necessary independence\, body and soul.  She is still in love with Floyd while gratefully indulging the love of Canewell.  She is fiercely protective of her own heart ever being broken by Floyd again. \nHEDLEY (M\, 60+\, African American) A Hill District entrepreneur where he sells this and that\, including sandwiches from chickens which he raises and butchers himself.  He has Haitian roots\, and increasingly suffers from the ravages of tuberculosis fever\, which drives his vision of a past and future glory for the black man\, including the realization of his dream to have a son to carry on his legacy. \nFLOYD BARTON (M\, 30+\, African American) a blues singer and guitarist with big aspirations.  He has deep flaws\, yet benefits from a personal epiphany as a result of his recent stay in prison.  He is a deeply talented musician\, passionate\, hopeful and as in love with Vera as much as he is in love with his own ambition.  (Ability to play blues guitar a plus.) \nRUBY (F\, 20 – 29\, African American) Louise’s niece.  Young and fiercely independent.  Fatally attractive and in search of solutions for her already deeply troubled young life. \nJOIN OUR FACEBOOK EVENT AND LET US KNOW YOU ARE COMING!
