Puppets, animatronic reptiles are part of the action in A Dinosaur Tale, March 18 and 19
The family-friendly theatre production is set in the Alberta Badlands
Massey Theatre presents A Dinosaur Tale on March 18 and 19 at 2 and 7 pm
“Life, uh, finds a way:” Fans of Jurassic Park will recognize the line by Dr. Ian Malcolm. The 1983 blockbuster helped inspire A Dinosaur Tale, a live-action family-friendly action adventure coming to The Massey during spring break from Calgary-based Annerin Productions.
Set in the Alberta Badlands, the story follows two 13-year-old kids named Declan and Lisa who are paired up on a paleontology-themed school field trip. A mysterious time-warping wormhole has brought dinosaurs back into the present day, and it’s up to the Grade 8s to get the creatures home before the day is done.
