Dinosaurs Don't DJ
First performed at the Nottingham Playhouse February 2020.
Join Dex the T rex as he gets ready to go to the party of the century!
But as he gets ready he starts to feel all sorts of peculiar things. Perhaps he won’t go after all-what if the music is too loud? What if the other dinosaurs laugh at his dancing? What if no one wants to play? Let's help Dex become the 'DJ' of his own BIG feelings and learn to have fun along the way!
​
A musical, interactive show all about those BIG feelings we all get.
Perfect for children 3+
