About the project: Jaimie, Max, Spencer, Kelly, and Steve are your typical Dungeons & Dragons group with their typical campaign. That is until the group decides to "branch out" and play a mysterious role playing game called “Guilds of Manzoa”. Through the game, the group of friends is transported to a fantasy world where they discover 3 elder dragons (posing as greedy billionaire business moguls in the real world) that control both realms with their hoards of wealth. In order to save mankind they must band together and destroy the evil dragons. Additional info: WHAT TO PREPARE: - A verse and chorus of a rock song that best showcases your talent. Please no musical theater unless it’s in a rock style. Bring an extra verse and chorus of a contrasting song just in case directors would like to hear more. Please bring a karaoke track (This can be from Youtube) on a smartphone, laptop, iPad, or iPod. We will have a hookup to a speaker at the venue. If you have a fancy new phone without a headphone jack, bring your dongle. No acapella singing. You must have a track to sing with. You will read “sides” (AKA excerpts) from the script.
