“ Wonder, science, romance, humor, and dinosaurs - what's not to fall in love with? Darcy Parker Bruce takes us on a delightfully fun (and heartwarming) sci-fi adventure. This would be a joy to see! ”- Tiffany Antone “ This play has such an amazing heartbeat! In the midst of a very exciting adventure, we see a closeness and honesty that's rarely explored, even in plays without dinosaurs and time travel. This play is honestly magic. ” -Rachel Lynett A SUPER queer time travel adventure. With Dinosaurs. A cross between Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, and Fried Green Tomatoes.

A night of related to the theme “walls” (both emotional and/or physical walls). 
  July 27th & 28th
Picture
This is not a new play. This is not a new story. For some in the theatre community, doing a "Labute show" triggers eye rolls and knowing smirks due to how often they are staged, or the sometimes clumsy and out-of-touch approaches to progressive ideas they contain.
But lately it has become clear that we are still a clumsy and out-of-touch society. And so we have this play. Unremarkable people stuck in an unremarkable town, looking for some value in their lives.
September 28- October 6th 2018
