WHAT TO PREPARE

JUNIOR | The Visionary. He is an African American man in his early 20s, articulate, confident, and serves as the primary narrator.

ACE | The Storyteller. He is playful, charismatic, and leads the group in banter and singing. As the White Officer, he must pivot to be stern and antagonistic.

JAYBIRD | The Soul. A lively pilot who sings lead. As Mama or Granny, this actor provides the maternal heart and comedic timing of the domestic scenes.

WOOD | The Support. Quick-witted, observant, and versatile. As the second White Officer, he helps depict the 'Operation Washout' sequence.

This production centers the Tuskegee Airmen and Black American history. Some roles are race-specific, and casting will honor the cultural and historical communities represented.
