Very well done! Told the story of unhealed trauma and how it can pop back up. Very well written. ... full review

Hilarious and so well-written. I can see this being performed in schools and small and regional theatres across the country. Somebody publish this now! (Get Mandy those royalty checks, she deserves them!!! Perform it in every high school!) Imagine how impactful it would be to have a piece so funny and simple about young people navigating the lasting effects of sexual trauma in an approachable, comfortable, and yet deep and unapologetic way performed all over the country. Really moving stuff.... full review

Whoah what a deeply personal and uniquely presented show!! So dark while being delightfully uplifting and sweet. This juxtaposition of opposite energies in this show, with each role pushing into different extremes made the pain of the main character more palpable as well as brought light to her intensity. Everyone had such expressive eyes. I love this absurd time travel bending metaphorical show about trauma. Dinosaurs made me think and feel and laugh and pause my hatred with love. ... full review

I LOVED DINOSAURS! I thought it was fun, moved quickly, was quirky, and had a great sense of humor while dealing with a difficult subject.... full review

Inventive story about a young college co-ed coming to terms with her teenage sexual abuse with the help of a time-traveling, socially awkward Dinosaur...I'm down for this premise. ... full review

This show is perfect.... full review

An absurd tackling of a very serious topic. The levity that was brought to the stage created a safe spot to explore a difficult subject. And that balance was both needed and done extremely well. ... full review

Mandy Rubeli is a talented writer with a straightforward style and perfect comedic timing. The play is incredibly dark and presented in a joyful and colorful way. Very enjoyable.... full review
