Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
A showbird would be great if you want a small part.
But I think Mayzie Bird might be more fun. Since you get to sing your own song "Amazing Mayzie" I thought it was an amazing part. Or maybe go for the Sour Kangaroo? They don't have much lines and they sing along with people.[Not for Mayzie though]
If not, I know there's some other various small parts that would be fun to do. Ms. Mayor, The Grinch, animals & performers, etc.

As a former high school (and college) theater geek, I'd say shoot the moon and go for the lead roles! Even if you don't get it, there's a good chance your nerve and courage will be noted and you'll be cast for a meatier role than you would have considered otherwise.
Personal story: in high school I tried out for the role of Carlos in 'David and Lisa'. It's not a lead role, but it's a major supporting one. Carlos is a tough Puerto Rican kid, and I had the accent and the attitude down. The director cast me as David's father, a smaller role but much more demanding. She thought I was too good to be Carlos.
Don't worry about looking like an idiot if you don't get the part you audition for. Get up there, put yourself into the character, and enjoy. If you get the part, great. If not, move on to the next audition.
Hope this helps.
