Breakdown:

Miss Brooks— A frustrated museum curator passionate about her work, committed to the history of New Jersey, but feels unappreciated by her Board of Trustees. Singing may be required for this role.

Agnes— A strong, determined and self-reliant woman that works for a moving and storage company. Singing may be required for this role.

Leo— Agnes co-worker, who tends to be self-absorbed, overly confident, and a bit chauvinistic.

All three characters meld in and out of the historical tales they weave throughout the piece taking on roles from history, folklore and prose from the State of New Jersey.
