Main characters

Pastor Maritza Lampara

Forty-something, mezzo-soprano voice. Assertive but compassionate. Leader in the community. Mild attention-deficit disorder. Somewhat emotional. Helpful nature. Possible same character to play Luther's wife, Katie.

Martin Luther

Back from the dead. Confident, bold baritone voice. Wise and highly intelligent. He was 63 when he died, so that’s probably the age he would be in his appearances as an aura. Possible same actor to play David Tannenberg.

David Tannenberg

Forty-something, baritone voice. Anchor of the marriage relationship, sounding board for Maritza. Thoughtful, brainy professor. Analytical. Interested in mechanical organ instruments.

Marty (Drug Addict & Criminal)

Thirty years old, lost and mean. Down on life. A liar, thief, addict. On the one hand a victim of his circumstance; on the other, he is unwilling (or unable) to take charge of his life to improve his situation.

Kyle Tannenberg

Son of Maritza and David. 18-25 years old in the story. Early on he’s impetuous, but he evolves to maturity. Bears best traits of his parents…thoughtful, concerned about others, pragmatic and steady.

Katie Luther

Similar to Maritza. A seminal woman, progressive for her time. A take-charge, supportive, and loving mother and wife. A very hard worker.
