<h3 style="font-size:18px">a musical comedy by Trey Parker</h3>
<p>Directed by Andrew Rothman</p>
<p>An original stage adaptation of the 1993 indie cult film by the
same name, written and composed by Trey Parker<em> (South Park,
The Book of Mormon)</em>. CANNIBAL! is based on the true story
of Alferd Packer and his band of gold miners who got lost in the
Colorado wilderness during the winter of 1873. Alferd, the only
one who returned alive, was put on trial for eating his
companions. CANNIBAL! is a satirical take on old-west musicals
like "Oklahoma!" and is packed with juvenile humor. </p>

<p>As this will be a stage adaptation of the film script, seeing
the film may be helpful to potential auditionees. The movie is
available to watch in its entirety on <a
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iqtP0fR07M">YouTube</a>,
<a
href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Cannibal_The_Musical/14606642">NetFlix</a>

</p>
<p><em>Cannibal</em> is a musical comedy with the emphasis on the
comedy, and most roles (Alferd and Polly excepted) require no
more than average vocal ability. If you can be committed, funny,
and are able to carry a tune in a bucket, you'll be considered.</p>
<p>Prepare 16 bars of your favorite showtune to sing. Please bring
your own sheet music in the correct key for you. A pianist will
be on hand. We will also be reading from the script and possibly
singing a selection or two from <em>Cannibal!</em> itself.
These will be open auditions and no roles have been pre-cast.
Age ranges for most roles are flexible 18+. Headshots and acting
resumes are welcome, but not required. No appointments
necessary. </p>

<p><strong>Roles: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>FEATURED ENSEMBLE:</strong> The film had several
dozen actors and extras. We are aiming for a cast of 14 to 20
people. The 20+ speaking roles in the script which are not
listed below will be played by members of this troupe. The
ensemble will sing on some numbers ("Hang The Bastard") and
will help to set scenes by moving, or in some cases
portraying, animals and inanimate objects. "There are no small
parts. Only small actors." ~ Milan Kundera </li>
<li><strong>THE MINERS: </strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>Alferd Packer</strong> - The leading man. Sweet
and naive to the point of stupidity. Alferd sings two
solos ("It's a Shpadoinkle Day!", "When I Was On Top Of
You"). Tenor. </li>
<li><strong>Shannon Bell</strong> - A clean-cut and sensible
preacher. Featured vocal in "That's All I'm Askin' For". </li>
<li><strong>George Noon</strong> - A sheltered, horny kid.
Featured vocal in "That's All I'm Askin' For". </li>
<li><strong>James Humphrey</strong> - An idiot in a silly
hat. Featured vocal in "That's All I'm Askin' For". </li>
<li><strong>Frank Miller</strong> - A strong and standoffish
butcher. Featured vocal in "That's All I'm Askin' For". </li>
<li><strong>Israel Swan</strong> - The irrepressibly
optimistic one. Featured vocal in "That's All I'm Askin'
For", plus a comedic solo number ("Let's Build A
Snowman"). </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>THE TRAPPERS: </strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>Frenchy Cabazon</strong> - The brash, bullying
villain. Solo song ("I'm A Trappin' Man"). Baritone. </li>
<li><strong>O.D. Loutzenheiser</strong> and<strong> Preston
Nutter</strong> - Frenchy's gang. Wannabe bad guys and
general jerks. They sing backup (poorly) on Frenchy's
number. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>THE LOVE INTERESTS:</strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>Polly Pry</strong> - The leading lady. A
go-getter journalist with a secret soft heart. Sings a
solo ballad ("This Side Of Me"). Soprano. </li>
<li><strong>Liane</strong> - Alferd's horse and best friend.
A non-speaking role with some dancing. Female. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>THE INDIANS:</strong>
<ul>
<li><strong>Indian Chief</strong> - In the film, the Indian
Chief (a larger speaking role, no singing) and his tribe
are played by Japanese people, speaking in Japanese (a jab
at old cowboy movies which seemed to cast anyone but
Indians as the Indians). For the stage version, we will be
maintaining this general concept - any type or ethnicity
that is clearly neither Caucasian nor Native American will
serve for the purpose of the joke. How the Indians are
portrayed will depend on who we see at auditions.</li>
