BANSHEE - AN APPALACHIAN MUSICAL

Representative: Macah Coates (AM + PM)
Mission: I am the creator of BANSHEE - An Appalachian Musical. The musical is a fantasy/horror/drama. The ensemble is constantly used as the voices of the dead.

Casting needs: The actors play multiple roles as well as sing in the ensemble. I am looking for people who can move well/dance/trapeze/sing in choral arrangement/play instruments (especially guitar/banjo/fiddle/percussion). The Greek Chorus of women and the coal miner ghosts make up all age ranges and types. The second act characters are high school kids and have a rock band, so any male that plays rock music is a plus. Lead roles must be able to belt and sing rock/soul.
