Plot
At the dawn of humanity, one tribe of cave-people survives the many trials of prehistoric life under the wise leadership of Jemilla, The Peacemaker. Jemilla taught her people to express themselves, rather than bashing each others' heads with rocks and eating each others' babies. But one member of the tribe doesn't seem to fit in: Zazzalil. She's always trying to invent things to make life easier… for herself. While out hatching her latest scheme, Zazzalil stumbles upon the most important discovery in history. One that will pit her tribe against wooly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and change the world forever. She'll travel from omega to alpha, and become… the Firebringer!
What to Prepare:
Please prepare a 60 second cut of a song from a STARKID production! If you do not know any Starkid shows, you may bring an alternative song, but Starkid songs are preferred. Here are some examples of shows in their catalog:
The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals
Twisted
The Trail to Oregon
A Very Potter Musical
A Bluetooth Speaker will be provided! Accompaniment piano is not available.
Following vocal auditions, we will have a series of cold readings and a dance routine that will be taught at auditions.
Characters:
Jemilla
Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (F3-D5) The leader of the tribe. Charismatic, Confident, protective, and motherly, but a little arrogant and stuck in past ways.
Zazzalil
Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (G3-D5) One of the tribe's gatherers. A Creative and innovative, but lazy inventor. Revolutionary thinker, but doesn’t always consider the consequences of their actions.
Chorn
Vocal Range: Alto or high baritone (G3-E5) Sings in an Enya type voice at the end of the show. The odd one of the tribe. Their vocabulary is seemingly limited. They do attempt to communicate to the tribe despite this to a varying degree of success.
Clark
Vocal Range: Baritone (but little to no singing). The handsome leader of the “other” tribe who partners with Jemilla when she leaves the tribe
Keeri
Vocal Range: Mezzo-soprano (A3-C5) The tribe's head gatherer. Not too bright, but kind and empathetic. Zazzalil’s supportive Best Friend.
Molag
Possible Non-Singing Role: The tribe’s former leader who has passed on the role to Jemilla, and is now walking the Earth while serving as our comic narrator.
Emberly
Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (G3-D5) The tribe taste-tester. Analytical, cautious but curious to learn or experience new things. A bookish, but sweet type.
Grunt
Vocal Range: High Baritone (C3-F4) An Outsider to the tribe. Timid and sensitive, wants to feel included and tries hard to do so despite failures. Quirky.
Schwoopsie
Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (A3-D5) The standup comedian of the tribe who invents the first joke and keeps her tribe in stitches
Ducker
Vocal Range: High Baritone (A2-F4) The religious leader of the tribe. Uses position in the tribe for his own gain. Self-serving, opportunistic and privileged.
Tiblyn
Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (B3-D5) The hard worker of the tribe. Loyal and dedicated to the tribe and their task, a hopeless romantic. Innocent, yet determined.
Smelly-Balls
Vocal Range: High baritone (A2-F4) The “dude” of the tribe. Not so bright. When it comes to bravery, all bark and no bite.
