Minneapolis Musical Theatre (MMT) seeks actors for their upcoming production of
TRIASSIC PARQ
Book and Lyrics by Marshall Pailet, Bryce Norbitz & Steve Wargo
Music by Marshall Pailet
Religion, identity, sex… and raptors! TRIASSIC PARQ is a retelling of that famous dinosaur-themed film, this time seen from the dino’s point of view. Chaos is unleashed on their not-so-prehistoric world when one dinosaur in a clan of females spontaneously turns male! Featuring a rollicking score, TRIASSIC PARQ is a side-splitting, rollicking and adults-only ride filled with dinosaurs, goats and definitely NOT any precocious kids!
Recommended for ages 18 and up due to comic violence, sexual content, and language.
Directed by Kjer Whiting

MMT is actively seeking diverse artists for TRIASSIC PARQ. We are looking for a cast filled with artists of all races, ethnicities, gender identities and body types. While all characters identify as female, some change their gender identity during the show and all parts are written for a variety of voice types. Actors of any gender expression should be comfortable with playing a female dinosaur - please note, these are not to be played as drag characters, but as real people (or, ok, dinosaurs.)
Several roles will require staged intimate contact, and scenes of a sexual nature between dinosaurs are included. An intimacy coordinator will work with the actors and director to create staging that is fully comfortable and consensual.
Character Descriptions:
VELOCIRAPTOR OF FAITH – Mezzo-soprano/Baritenor (G3-Bb5) – The tribe’s spiritual leader.
VELOCIRAPTOR OF SCIENCE – Mezzo-Soprano/Baritone (G3-E5) – Faith’s twin sister. Exiled for heresy.
VELOCIRAPTOR OF INNOCENCE – Soprano/Tenor (B3-E6) – Young and hungry for truth.
T-REX 1 – Strong ‘Mid-Range’ (G3-E5) – Best friends with T-Rex 2.
