The Loras Players, the theatre production arm of Loras College’s School of Humanities & Education, present Firebringer, a musical comedy originally produced by StarKid Productions, Thursday–Saturday, November 19–21 at 7:30 PM in St. Joseph Auditorium, Hoffmann Hall, on the Loras College campus.
Set at the dawn of humanity, Firebringer follows a tribe of cave people doing their best to survive the challenges of prehistoric life. Under the leadership of Jemilla, the Peacemaker, the tribe has developed a relatively peaceful way of life. But not everyone is content with the status quo. Enter Zazzalil, an ambitious and unconventional member of the tribe whose latest invention-minded adventure leads to the most important discovery in human history: fire.
As Zazzalil’s discovery sets off a chain of unexpected events, the tribe must navigate new possibilities, old traditions, and a world that is changing faster than anyone anticipated. Featuring energetic musical numbers, irreverent humor, and plenty of prehistoric absurdity, Firebringer offers a hilarious look at innovation, leadership, community, and what happens when someone decides there might be a better way to do things.
Established in 1910, the Loras Players are the oldest continuously operating theatre troupe west of the Mississippi River. Currently in their 117th season, the Players provide students of all majors with hands-on experience in all aspects of theatre production.
Firebringer runs Thursday–Saturday, November 19–21 at 7:30 PM in St. Joseph Auditorium, Hoffmann Hall on the Loras College campus. General admission is $10 cash at the box office; Loras-affiliated admission is a $5–10 suggested donation. Box office and doors open at 7:00 PM.
