Besides the three of them singing and gesturing everywhere on the performance site, the old woman, representing the Mother Goddess, also takes a folding fan and striking a gong, plays the role of the guide. The medium carries "paper bribe money" to win over the little ghosts along the way and keep the path open. The young woman (or hsiao-tan) has no special role.
三人除了在現場四周扭擺唱作，象徵陰陽壇娘媽的老婆還時拿摺扇，時敲烏鑼，扮演帶路的角色；姨則手拿招魂用的「黃金古仔錢」，沿路和小鬼打交道開路；小旦就沒有特殊角色。
