Nashville Children’s Theatre Brings “Dino Time!” to the Stage

ROAR! Bring your little dino-lovers to this interactive theater experience for kids through May 18.

Who says theater is just for adults?! Bring your littles ages 0 to 5 to a prehistoric adventure with the premiere of Dino Time!, running at Nashville Children’s Theatre on weekends through May 18.

Dino Time! follows the story of Dino and Dina Dinosaur as they prepare for their egg to hatch. This interactive and immersive play invites young audiences to help the lovable dinosaur couple as they navigate a whirlwind of excitement in preparation for their little one’s arrival.

Starring Katie Bruno and James Rudolph II,  the show brings the gift of family, discovery and new beginnings to life and encourages young ones to think creatively and work together.

Dino Time! is a sweet show about how hard it is to wait for something exciting,” said Alicia Fuss, the director of the show and NCT’s former director of education. “This show presents a message that resonates with audiences of all ages, offering a lesson they can incorporate into their daily lives.”

Dino Time! is a production in the Snuggery program at Nashville Children’s Theatre, which is designed for children ages 0–5.

All performances of the show will take place on NCT’s Snuggery stage, a cozy, intimate space specifically designed to offer a creative and immersive experience for the very young. Booster seats are provided to ensure everyone can witness the magic.

Tickets are available now at NashvilleChildrensTheatre.org

Tips for Bringing Littles to a Show

  • Let your child know what to expect. Tell them if it will be dark or loud or crowded. Let them know that they need to be quiet (or at least whisper).
  • If you’re going with more than one child, bring a buddy. One person can take a child to the bathroom, get snacks, or make a getaway with a child who is melting down while the other stays with the rest of the children.
  • Be prepared. Bring your standard diaper bag gear.
