Our world is constantly changing and in the past couple years it’s changed in ways no one ever imagined before. I find sometimes the most comforting thing, when the path ahead is particularly unpredictable, is to look back at where you’ve come from.
This spring we want to invite our audiences back in time to the world of the dinosaurs! I have loved dinosaurs ever since I can remember—these wild creatures that ranged from the size of my pinky to the size of my house. What would it be like to be a t-rex with its big ferocious teeth and itty bitty arms, or a majestic brachiosaurus with its long neck stretching as long as its tail, or a little velociraptor darting around on tiny claws and decorated with feathers? And still new fossils get discovered today! The possibilities of what their world truly looked like are unlimited.
Our world has changed so much since it was theirs, but some things still hold true—we still have grass and leaves and trees, we still have stars, and we still share this great big world with all sorts of people and animals and plants from creatures the size of a pinky to whales the size of a house.
So let’s go on an adventure back to the past because I think the more we can discover about what our world once was, the more we can imagine all that it can be in the future!
