Peggy Jo Tallas- Alto (F#3-C#5).
- Late 30s-50s
- Bank robbers who eluded law enforcement for many years disguised as a man. Otherwise, unsuspecting, she works at a hotel chain and lives at home with her mother.
- Dry sense of humor. She holds her cards close to her chest and has developed a certain gruffness, or hardened veneer with time. In moments of music, she is physically energetic to the point of near anarch. Alto wtih a strong belt and keen harmonic ear; equally facile with soaring folk and rock melodies and restrained punk-talk recitative. Patti Smith meets Bonnie Raitt.
Jerry “MA’ Tallas – Low Alto (F#3 A4)
- 60’s – late 70s
- Peggy’s Mother. Shares Peggy Jo’s dry sense of humor, but without any illusions of grandeur. Recent ill health has taken away her ability to see. An alto with as much vocal ease as vocal power, able to bring language to life in song. She brings down the house with an 11 o’clock number.
Stan – High Tenor (F3-A4 with optional falsettto upto C#5)
- Late 30’s – 50s.
- Perpetually down on his luck.
- Has an unusual sense of optimism. Has known the Tallas family since he was in third grade. Loyal to his friendship above all else.
Tanya – Alto/Mezzo (C#4 D#5)
- 20’s mid 30’s
- Rena’s co worker at Chili’s. Vivacious, full of energy, with a mischievous bent. Her optimism is spiked with a middle finger towards the establishment.
