Erth's Dinosaurs

Extinction was just an intermission

Erth’s Dinosaurs is a greatest hits of everything that audiences have come to know and love about Erth. Featuring strong curriculum links to engage primary-aged audiences, and an accompanying education kit, the show highlights uniquely Australian dinosaurs within a wider global context. The show is full of Erth’s distinctive laconic humour, plus a lyrical heart that will delight young and old. Perfect for school and GP audiences, Erth’s Dinosaurs is a guaranteed audience pleaser.

Similar to Erth’s earlier dinosaur shows (eg Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo, Prehistoric World), Erth’s Dinosaurs is a presentational-style performance. A charismatic host will lead the audience on a journey of discovery through prehistory to learn about the creatures that walked this country long before us. The show features heaps of direct audience engagement, plus some stage wizardry that will leave families wondering how we ever managed to fit so many dinosaurs in the one theatre.

Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo delivers solid science as well as an extraordinary spectacle.
