AUDITION NOTICE: Firebringer - PIP Theatre

Title: Firebringer

Presented By: PIP Theatre

Genre: Musical Comedy


Synopsis: Firebringer follows a prehistoric tribe as they navigate the discovery of fire, questioning tradition and leadership while dealing with modern-day humour and timeless emotions. Zazzalil, a clever and ambitious member, inadvertently disrupts the tribe's way of life with her daring ideas, ultimately sparking (literally) a new age. Through comedy, intimacy, and musical numbers, the show explores themes of progress, unity, and the power of the individual.
