Carroll College Theatre kicks off its fall season with Firebringer, a Stone Age musical comedy from StarKid Productions, running October 2 through 11 in the FLEX Theatre on the lower level of the Carroll College Campus Center. The show marks one of the more ambitious student productions Helena audiences will see this fall.
Firebringer follows two women navigating very different philosophies in a prehistoric tribe. Jemilla, the tribe's leader, puts her faith in tradition and the rules that have kept her people alive. Her counterpart takes a sharply different view — a tension that drives both the comedy and the story. StarKid Productions, the Chicago-based theater company behind A Very Potter Musical, is known for high-energy shows that blend pop music sensibility with theatrical storytelling.
The FLEX Theatre is an intimate, flexible performance space that suits the kind of ensemble-driven work StarKid is known for. Exact showtimes and ticket information were not included in the available listing, and interested attendees should contact Carroll College Theatre directly for details. The run closes October 11.
