Character
Breakdown:                (ELMA DUCKWORTH) 18-28.  High school
                                    girl working at Grace's diner.  A wide
                                    eyed innocent with a romantic view of the world.
                                    Must look 16-18.

                                    (WILL MASTERS) 40-65.  The local sheriff.  Forbidding no-nonsense Gary Cooper-esque sensibility.

                                    (CARL) 55-65.  The jovial and lonely bus driver.

                                    (VIRGIL) 35-45.  Marvelous ol' cowpoke and devoted guardian/surrogate father of Bo; calm, slow, deliberate. Plays guitar.  (Not absolutely required but would be a major plus.)

Scenes will be available at the Interplayers Box Office Wednesday 24 – Saturday 27, noon till 5:00pm.
