The Long Island Children’s Museum Theater is set to “unbox” a prehistoric adventure this summer with the premiere of its newest original production, Unbox a Saurus for Us!,  in the LICM Theater.

This interactive theatrical experience invites visitors to join eccentric paleontologist Dr. Patricia Osiris (a.k.a. “Dr. Patti”) as she attempts to reveal a never-before-seen dinosaur specimen—if only she can figure out how to open the crate it’s locked in. Along the way, young audience members become key players in solving problems, sparking laughter and exploring the world of dinosaurs in a lighthearted “scientific” comedy that blends imagination and learning.
Written by co-directors Austin Costello and Lisa Rudin, Unbox a Saurus for Us! was developed as a complement to the Museum’s summer exhibit, Dinosaurs: Fossils Exposed, in residence through August 31. The show expands the exhibit experience by bringing paleontology to life on stage through humor and audience participation.
