TRIASSIC PARQ Gets Staged Readings at The Players Club, 11/10-11
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 31, 2011
Triassic Parq, a new version of the FringeNYC hit Jurassic Parq: The Broadway Musical (Best Musical, FringeNYC '10) will have its first readings November 10th and 11th at The Players Club on Gramercy Park.
The raucous musical tells the story of Jurassic Park from the perspective of the dinosaurs. Triassic Parq is an unflinching meditation on gender, sexual, and racial identity in an evolving landscape destined to stun you with its Importance and Themes. 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 held as truth. And, like all great tales laden with import, it is narrated by Morgan Freeman.There will be uncertainty. There will be blood. There will be shake weights. But above all, there will be Truth.The readings will be invitation-only with strictly limited seating, and are a precursor to an Off-Broadway run in spring of 2012.Triassic Parq is produced by Flying Squirrel Theatricals (The Three Times She Knocked, Godspell) and RD Productions (The Scottsboro Boys, The Pee-Wee Herman Show), in association with Bulldog Theatrical (Freud's Last Session, Colin Quinn: Long Story Short, Desire Under the Elms) and P2 Creations (The Scottsboro Boys, Passing Strange, How the Grinch...).
