[February 24, 2020]  LINCOLN - Lincoln College opens “Pterodactyls” on Thursday evening on the main stage of the Johnston Center for the Performing Arts.

Written by Nicky Silver, the play tells the dark but comedic story of the Duncans, a well-to-do Philadelphia family. The fragile union of Grace Duncan (Calia Cole) and Arthur Duncan (Tre’veon Campbell) is put to the test as the family’s veneer of success and outward respectability peels away with the return of their son, Todd (Played by Kyle Plohr). After years of living away, Todd returns home unannounced, revealing that he is HIV positive. At the same time, his sister Emma Duncan (Jacqueline Ishmael) has introduced the family to her new fiancé, Tommy (Morwin Coney).



As Grace and Emma make preparations for Emma’s wedding, Todd begins to excavate and reconstruct the bones of a dinosaur discovered in the family’s yard. But, much more is being unearthed than ancient fossils as long buried family secrets come to the surface. And, like the ancient reptile, the Duncan appear to also be on a path to extinction. Guest director for the Lincoln College production is Myeongsik Jason Jang.



The play runs Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 20-22 and the following week Feb 27-29, with matinee performances on Sunday, Feb. 23 and March 1, at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for general admission and $1 for students.

Due to adult content, the production is recommended for mature audiences only.
