Take a family adventure to the bottom of the ocean at CLC
The creators of "Erth's Dinosaur Zoo Live" are returning with an all new adventure, this time to the bottom of the ocean.
"Erth's Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure" will come to the Mainstage Theatre of the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts on the College of Lake County's Grayslake Campus at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 7.
"Erth's Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure" was created in Australia by Erth Visual & Physical Inc. The show explores the unknown ocean depths, unlocking the mystery of the dinosaurs of the deep. The show features a large-scale cast of creatures brought to life by sophisticated design, theatrical presentation and puppet mastery.
"Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure" is a simulated adventure taking place at the bottom of the ocean. The audience experience is enriched via immersive techniques that make them feel as though they are sometimes swimming with the creatures in the tank.
"Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure" is produced in North America by Red Tail Entertainment. The Erth/Red Tail collaboration is dedicated to offering entertaining family shows that are based in the real science of paleontology. Children can watch and learn, while interacting with the creatures in a fun, educational and unique presentation.
Erth shows use actors, technology, puppets, science and imagination to create an amazing visual experience that connects young audiences to science.

"Erth's Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure" is written and directed by Scott Wright, co-founder of Erth Visual and Physical Inc. and its artistic director since inception in 1990. He trained as a dancer and choreographer in Victoria in southeast Australia, and is a multiskilled artist incorporating puppetry (one of his greatest loves), movement, acting, aerial performance, stilts and pyrotechnics.
Currently, he is working with renowned Italian director Chiara Guidi, having just finished production on "Erth's Prehistoric Aquarium."
