In TRIASSIC PARQ: THE MUSICAL, an unexpected… umm… 'protuberance' on a previously-female T-Rex brings chaos and division to the dino tribe. In search of an explanation for this growing problem, an adventurous and naive young Velociraptor appeals to Science and Faith for answers. Featuring power ballads, Veloci-rapping, and dinosaur roars, TRIASSIC PARQ is a sexy, gender-bending rock musical about how 'life finds a way.'

Three New Playwrights (Allison Bressi, Executive Producer) announce (not just) 3 New Plays, a month-long pop-up event featuring new plays, comedy, poetry, art and music, will be hosted by Tom Noonan's Paradise Factory (64 East 4th Street, between Bowery & Second Avenue) September 7 - 29, 2013. The event's cornerstone productions are KILLERS by Kevin Armento, directed by Stefanie Abel Horowitz; SHOOT THE FREAK by Jaclyn Backhaus, directed by Andrew Neisler; and EUDAEMONIA by Jerry Lieblich, directed by Marshall Pailet; the three world premiere plays will perform in repertory with other curated events.

WICKED, the musical that reminds us that so much happened before Dorothy dropped in OZ, is visiting Houston's Hobby Center for the Performing Arts for the fourth time this summer. There is no denying that excitement is growing in Houston. Billboards for the show line our highways, commercials play on our TVs and radios, and everyone is buzzing about the much-loved musical. Recently, I chatted with Alex Wyse, who joined the cast as Boq on June 6, 2013. He took a few minutes out of his busy tour and performance schedule to chat with me about WICKED and his incredible career.

Nighttime Traffic, a musical with music and lyrics by Alex Wyse and book by Alex Wyse and Steve Wargo, will have an industry reading today, April 23 in midtown Manhattan.

If you've ever sat through Steven Spielberg's e-ticket cinematic blockbuster Jurassic Park and wondered to yourself… 'Gee, I wonder how those dinosaurs feel about this whole situation,' then this cheeky, oddly hilarious musical send-up is the perfect show for you. Silly and even surprisingly touching, TRIASSIC PARQ - THE MUSICAL -- now playing its West Coast Premiere to loud cheers at the Chance Theater in Anaheim Hills through February 24 -- is a fresh new stage show that offers a mosquito-on-the-wall look inside the electrified fences of that fictional dino-populated island, but this time from the point-of-view of the dinosaurs themselves. The result? A laugh-riot from start to finish.

Chance Theater will present the first show of its 2013 season with a touching west coast premiere musical about dinosaurs and love, TRIASSIC PARQ - The Musical, music by Marshall Pailet, book by Marshall Pailet, Bryce Norbitz and Steve Wargo, choreographed by Kelly Todd, musical direction by Taylor Stephenson and directed by Marshall Pailet, who will be the Chance Theater's 2013 Resident Playwright (and will have two of his other works workshopped in Chance's new play reading series).
