About the Show

A decades-spanning portrait of women returning weekly to share their recovery stories.

Jacob Perkins’ The Dinosaurs follows a group of women who meet in the same place week after week to talk candidly about recovery. As time stretches from weeks into years, and the world outside changes in ways they can barely recognize, the ritual of returning persists. The play traces how connection, habit, and shared history accumulate across eras, examining the tension between holding tight to what anchors us and the ongoing work of learning to release what no longer serves.

It’s the kind of play you feel obligated to respect because its heart, if not its art, is in the right place.
