https://www.signupgenius.com/…/20F0E45A9AC2FA3FC1…

Walk-ins will also be accepted – However, preference will be given to auditionees that register in advance.

Auditions will consist of : A Prepared comedic monologue that is around one minute long. Show us your comedic chops! We also ask that you bring a song in the style of the show (16-32 bars). There will be an accompanist at the audition. Please provide your own sheet music for your song. There will also be a dance call with our choreographer. A video will be posted to our website if you’d like to learn the dance in advance.

Cast of Characters:

No roles have been pre-cast. We are seeking to assemble a very diverse cast of individuals. Since this show takes place in a land before time every role will be cast everything blind. Any gender identity/race/age/ability can audition for any role. This story takes place before any social constructs exist yet. We are willing to adjust vocal ranges to accommodate the actors cast.

Jamila – Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (F3-D5) Jamila The Peacemaker is the calm level headed 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) The tribe’s scapegoat. Blamed very everything bad that happens. A Creative and innovative, but lazy inventor. Revolutionary thinker, but doesn’t always consider the consequences of their actions.

Molag – Vocal Range: Non Singing Role. Molag The War Master. 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. We still want this character to be comedic but also a villain in this story. A comparison that I often make is Frank from Shameless if you’ve ever seen that show.

Emberly- Mezzo-Soprano (G3-D5) Emberly takes their role as tribe taste-tester VERY seriously. Becoming the world’s first sort of chef. Analytical, cautious but curious to learn or experience new things. Her love story with Grunt serves as the B plot to this story.

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. They invent painting and shares this passion with Emberly.

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. In the end it is revealed that they are an ethereal alien that was sent down to monitor and aid the progression on human life.

Keeri – Vocal Range: Mezzo-soprano (A3-C5) The tribe’s head gatherer and Zazzalil’s supportive Best Friend. Not too bright, but kind and empathetic. Very bubbly. She invents dancing.

Schwoopsie – Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (A3-D5) The tribe entertainer who invents the first joke and keeps her tribe in stitches. Turning their own name into their own catchphrase.

Ducker – High Baritone (A2-F4) The official religous leader and mouth piece of the all mighty duck the tribe worships. Uses position in the tribe for his own gain. Self-serving, opportunistic and privileged.

Tiblyn – Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano (B3-D5) Loyal and dedicated to the tribe and their task. Holding up the sky. Absolutely crushed to find out the sky is holding itself up just fine. A hopeless romantic. Innocent, yet determined.

Smelly-Balls – Vocal Range: High baritone (A2-F4) Fancies himself the protector of the tribe. Not so bright. When it comes to bravery, all bark and no bite. The first to step up to the plate despite rarely ever hitting the ball.

Ensemble – We are adding a small ensemble to our production. The ensemble will understudy some of the leads in addition to puppeting the animals and playing the neanderthals in act 2. They also will be in dances symbolizing forces of nature such as the storm or the fire. As well as Chorns tribe of Aliens at the end of the show.

SAVED IN TIME ​is a story of a young lady who lives in a country that exists in the future exactly like America. This country has been taken over by a communist movement. As it slowly happened the Christians of this country were complacent. Staying silent in their faith until it was too late to stop this movement.

It is now against the law to own a Bible, and a capital offense worthy of death to proclaim faith in any god but the state. Even more so if you believe in Jesus. ​ As the country quickly developed into a communistic state, those who professed their faith in Jesus as Savior were quickly incarcerated. Eventually, following a mock trial, these people were most the time killed ​ 30 days after being arrested.

By Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick Concept created by Seth Rudetsky and Drew Geraci Additional Material by Drew Geraci

It’s 1979, and a crazy cornucopia of A-listers are lining up for a night of hilarity aboard a floating casino and discotheque! There’s a faded disco star, a sexy singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun – with a gambling addiction! What begins as a night of boogie fever changes to a gleeful panic as they endure wacked out disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos – plus killer rats! Featuring hit songs of the ’70s like “I Will Survive”, “Hawaii Five-O”, “Three Times a Lady”, “I Am Woman”, “When Will I Be Loved” and many more, DISASTER! is Broadway’s side-splitting homage to classic disaster films.
