OTHER INFORMATION
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!
Seeking the Following Characters: Jemilla - Female-presenting. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano. The leader of the tribe. Charismatic, confident, protective, and motherly, but a little arrogant and stuck in past ways.
Zazzalil - Female-presenting. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano. 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 - Any gender identity. Vocal Range: Alto or high baritone. 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 - Male presenting. Vocal Range: Baritone. Will also double as puppeteer and Ensemble. The handsome leader of the “other” tribe who partners with Jemilla when she leaves the tribe.
Keeri - Female-presenting. Vocal Range: Mezzo-soprano. The tribe's head gatherer. Not too bright, but kind and empathetic. Zazzalil’s supportive Best Friend.
Molag - Any gender identity. 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 - Female presenting. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano. The tribe taste-tester. Analytical, cautious but curious to learn or experience new things. A bookish, but sweet type.
Grunt - Male presenting. Vocal Range: High Baritone. An Outsider to the tribe. Timid and sensitive, wants to feel included and tries hard to do so despite failures. Quirky.
Schwoopsie/Claire - Female presenting. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano. The standup comedian of the tribe who invents the first joke and keeps her tribe in stitches.
Ducker - Male presenting. Vocal Range: High Baritone. The religious leader of the tribe. Uses position in the tribe for his own gain. Self-serving, opportunistic and privileged.
Tiblyn/Kid 1 - Female presenting. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano. The hard worker of the tribe. Loyal and dedicated to the tribe and their task, a hopeless romantic. Innocent, yet determined.
Smelly-Butt/Kid 2 - Male presenting. Vocal Range: High baritone. The “dude” of the tribe. Not so bright. When it comes to bravery, all bark and no bite. Think Bill and Ted, Wayne’s World, or Beavis and Butthead.
