Recommended Grades 2-8
Corbian the Dinosaur is a truly unique theater experience featuring larger-than-life, glow-in-the dark characters that light up the stage. Created by a magical scientist, Corbian is much more than a pet! As Corbian’s animal instincts take over, the scientist creates a heart for him and encourages him to experience life beyond the scientist’s workshop. Join Corbian as he meets a gangly ostrich, a beautiful fish and a menacing red dinosaur that help him learn the value of compassion, friendship and love.
