A GLOW IN THE DARK ADVENTURE |

A Glow in The Dark Adventure is the story of a scientist who invents a dinosaur that he brings to life. The dinosaur is naturally a predator and is dangerous until the scientist gives him a heart, thereby giving him compassion for other beings. The scientist sends the dinosaur out into the world to experience everything he can, where he has an amazing adventure. It is presented by a dance company that dances while wearing glow in the dark puppets. None of what you are going to see is animation. It is all done live.
