A good storyteller. All are welcome to audition.Sarah Resetta ("Lyons:) Wakeman: Female, 20s. Born to a poor farm family. Tough but not repellent. She can be sharp and insensitive. She longs to see battle. Longs to be her true self. Kind at her core. Vulnerability beneath it all. All are welcome to audition.The Inspiration Set at the start of the American Civil War, Toliver & Wakeman theatricalizes and dramatizes the Civil War experience of two characters from very different (and not so different) backgrounds. Toliver is a young black man born into slavery in Virginia who escaped to New York, changed his name to avoid capture, and mustered into the Union Army's 26th Regiment of Colored Troops (NY). Wakeman is Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, a young white woman, born in rural Upstate New York. She disguised herself as a man and mustered into the Union Army, the 153rd New York State Volunteers, as "Lyons" Wakeman.Contact April Sweeney at sasweeney@colgate.edu for more information.
