ONEONTA WORLD OF LEARNING AND DANDELION STAGE PRESENT THE FAMILY SUMMER INTERACTIVE THEATRE ADVENTURE DINOSAUR INVASION

ONEOTNA, NY — Families must help save the world from time-traveling dinosaurs in  Dandelion Stage’s interactive outdoor theatre performance, Dinosaur Invasion. In this mash-up  between a “choose your own adventure” and a giant game of pretend, audiences take on the  role of Time & Space agents who must save the world from Vortex’s dastardly plot to destroy  the whole of time and space. Performances are presented at OWL’s children’s museum,167  Youngs Road in Fortin Park, Saturdays and Sundays in July, at 11:00 am & 1:00 pm. Tickets for  all ages are $10. Children must be accompanied by an adult for this “free-range” theatre  adventure. Performance capacity is 10 children maximum with no adult attendance cap. Call  607-353-9502 for information. To purchase tickets, visit OWL’s Eventbrite page at: Dinosaur  Invasion.  

This imagination powered event, geared toward ages 5-12, includes a dino-themed  workshop at OWL and pre-adventure craft workshop for audiences build their very own  Time-Trap used in the performance. Coming to a Dandelion Stage outdoor summer  theatre performance is always an adventure, so audiences are advised to come  prepared for the changeability of Oneonta weather. 

Dinosaur Invasion is the result of an earlier creative collaboration between OWL and  Dandelion Stage founding Artistic Director and playwright, Malissa Kano-White.  “Several years ago, OWL and I collaborated to create a dinosaur themed imagination 

trail around the OWL museum and Fortin Park. Last year, when COVID closed all the  theatres I was inspired to reimagine that earlier project as an interactive outdoor theatre  adventure for families to enjoy playing and creating their own dinosaur adventure. Needless to say, I was thrilled when OWL board member Rachel Rissberger agreed this  latest creative partnership.” 

OWL is a museum dedicated to learning through play. Dandelion Stage creates innovative community-based theatre to enrich learning and empower creativity. 

Dinosaur Invasion will be performed at OWL, in Fortin Park, Saturdays and Sundays  in July, at 11:00 am & 1:00 pm. For more information contact Dandelion Stage at 607- 353-9503.
