SEEKING:
- [ALICE PAUL] 20s - 30s. White. LEAD role. A versatile singer. Possesses strong musicianship and confidence navigating complicated harmonies. A young Suffragist who fervently believes it’s her destiny to “finish the fight” of Women’s Suffrage and will do whatever it takes to bring that about. Dedicated to the point of being a relentless, yet a passionate, unconventional leader.
- [CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT] 40s-50s. White. LEAD role. A versatile singer, mix/belt to Eb5. Possesses strong musicianship and confidence navigating complicated harmonies. A respected leader of the Women’s Suffrage movement. Fiercely intelligent, tireless and channels her passion into charm and a polite mask but is a warrior underneath.

Possesses strong musicianship and confidence navigating complicated harmonies. A glamorous socialite and lawyer, with an equally dazzling intelligence and intellect.

- [IDA B. WELLS] 30s-50s. Black. A journalist, activist, and prominent Suffrage leader. Outspoken, radical, brilliant, focused, and dedicated to her cause. Not afraid to speak truth to power. Possesses strong musicianship and confidence navigating complicated harmonies.
