Stage Talk with Rick Koster
Where every show has something to say.
DINOSAUR ALERT!
What if a Tyrannosaurus Rex was gamboling through the Garde Arts Center — and who would clean up after it?!
First things first: YOU don’t have to worry about the latter aspect.
Just have fun because…
On Jan. 10, 2026, the Garde welcomes Dinosaur World Live!, a family-happy presentation featuring hostess Miranda as she introduces audiences to an array of startlingly life-like beasts from the Cretaceous Period including T Rex, Triceratops, Giraffatitan, Microraptor and Segnosaurus.
You think you were thrilled when these creatures hit the Big Screen in the Jurassic Park films, or when you saw fossils in a museum?
Dinosaur World Live! is up close and personal. The beasts, operated by master puppeteers, replicate the movement and behavior of animals that last roamed the earth 66 million years ago, and Miranda provides entertaining and educational demonstrations and commentary.
PLUS, kiddos get a post-event opportunity to say hello and befriend one of the dinos.
The biggest problem for Mom and Dad is that this is not an adoption event, no matter how badly the children may wish it was.
