Details

Summary

Religion, identity, sex... and raptors! Triassic Parq is a raucous retelling of that famous dinosaur-themed film, this time seen from the dinos’ point of view. Chaos is unleashed upon the not-so-prehistoric world when one dinosaur in a clan of females spontaneously turns male. The mutation spawns a chain reaction of identity crises, forcing the dinosaurs to question the very facts of life they’ve always held as truth. An uproariously funny musical meditation on faith, science and love.

History

After premiering at the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival, Triassic Parq opened off-Broadway at the Soho Playhouse in June 2012. Directed by Marshall Pailet, the off-Broadway production featured Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Brandon Espinoza, Wade McCollum, Claire Neumann, Zak Sandler, Lee Seymour, Shelley Thomas, Alex Wyse and Jeremy Yaddow.
