The cast consists of 4 male and 4 female performers.

Please prepare one verse of a song in country or gospel style.  Please bring sheet music.  An accompanist will be available.  If you’d prefer to sing with an accompaniment you bring on a device, a speaker will be available.

While no one impersonates Johnny Cash in the show, his story is told through song.  Singers do not have to play instruments in this production, but if you do, it’s a plus.  If you play guitar, upright bass, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, or piano, prepare a short piece to show your ability.  A keyboard will be available.  If you do play an instrument, you don’t have to accompany yourself on your song, but you may.  Otherwise, please prepare a short piece to show your ability.

You do not need to prepare a monologue but may be asked to read from the script.
