TRIASSIC PARQ is a raucous retelling of that famous dinosaur-themed film JURASSIC PARK, 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.</span></div><div> </div><div><span mce_style="font-size: 140%;">This is the Cleveland Premiere!</span></div><div><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;"><br><em>"Flat-out ingenious.
