In the opening scene of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, a hapless worker finds himself caught in the clutches of a velociraptor. Robert Muldoon, the park's game warden, leaps to his rescue. As the camera zooms down his throat, he yells, "Shoot her! Shoot heeeer!" And thus begins the late-20th century's cinematic pièce de résistance. While it's a wonder that it took this long for a dramatic adaptation to emerge, Baltimore's WHAM City has found the courage. Dinos roam the earth again, animated by what Natalie Jenison and Dina Kelberman call "papier-mâché technology." Director Donna Sellinger swears that this production is neither a joke nor a parody, but a loving, scene-by-scene homage to Spielberg's original.
