Danger Dinosaurs! is a delightful and informative children's musical about Dinosaurs. Combining different theories of extinction with an ethic of cooperation, the musical inspires as it teaches. Performed by the CenterStage Players.

Little Tuatara believes that unless the Dinosaurs change their ways, they will meet their doom. But none of them will listen to her! They are too big and strong to worry about the ravings of a tiny lizard. Each delightful dinosaur character is the victim of a specific extinction theory, many of which have relevance in our own day and age. Along the way, Tuatara teaches them about cooperation and how to survive.

Danger Dinosaurs! was first produced in 1989 and toured as children's theater. With this reissue, a whole new generation of kids can enjoy the inspirational upbeat message and thrilling music.

Follow little Tuatara as she tries to convince the Dinosaurs that they must change their ways or face extinction by purchasing the Book that features detailed and realistic dinosaur art by Joe Heller.
