The show is a musical comedy about cavepeope and the discovery of fire. Originally produced by StarKid Productions, this show follows a tribe of kooky characters; through resourcefulness, luck, and a tiny bit of stupidity, they "invent" fire and put it through a myriad of uses. This female-led cast shows a lot of heart and soul as you follow their journey into a new age of humankind.
Only actors at or over the age of 18 at the time of auditions will be considered. Auditions will consist of 2-hour time blocks. Auditioners will be split into two groups. One group will work on vocal auditions and cold readings from the script for the first hour. The other group will work on the dance audition with our choreographer. The groups will then switch for the second hour.
Auditioners should prepare 16-32 bars of a song not from the show that fits the tone of the musical. They can either bring their own tracking or sing acapella. Sheet music is appreciated but not required. Please wear comfortable clothes to move in for the choreography part of the audition.
To audition, please sign up for a timeslot and fill out an Audition Form.

Chorn (Female presenting; Mid20s-Mid30s; Alto G3-E5):
No one really knows where Chorn came from or what Chorn is. No one really questions it that much either. A simple-minded being with a limited vocabulary.
Keeri (Female presenting; 20s-Mid30s; Mezzo A3-C5):
The tribe's head gatherer. Not the brighest of the bunch but shows heart in everything that they do. A kind and empathetic soul and Zazzalil's best friend.
