Synopsis: When a vacationing family’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, the youngest member, twelve year old Matty Downing, tries to keep the bickering grownups from sabotaging their own chance at survival. However, he soon discovers that due to their egos, their unchecked flaws and their refusal to work together, the family’s chances of actually making it home alive are dangerously close to nil. “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth” is an allegorical family drama that is sharply satirical, poignant and at times borders on the bizarre.

Breakdown:

Role Name Gender Ethnicity Age Range Description
Matt Downing Male Any Ethnicity 11-14 Male, 11-13. The voice of reason that can’t quite make itself heard. He tries his best to keep his sanity in a seemingly insane family. He likes order in a world of chaos. He is optimistic, but quickly learns that the world may not be as salvageable as he once thought.
Gus Downing Male Any Ethnicity 31-40 (Male, 30+): Handsome, charming, but it’s questionable if there’s anything going on behind that dashing smile. He’s a wannabe cowboy who clings to his southern drawl. He is a man whose incompetence is only made worse by his pride.
Ellen Downing Female Any Ethnicity 31-40 (Female, 30+): An uptight perfectionist with perfect posture. She’s always precisely put together, but although she dresses formally, he clothes can be found in any middle class shopping center. She’s all business, she is cold as ice, and her stubbornness stems from her unwavering assumption that she is always right.
Pervault Teller Male Any Ethnicity 25-30 (Male, mid-20s+): A highly intelligent, French-speaking, horn-rimmed glasses-wearing, pot-smoking, laid back chubby pseudointellectual who has drifted within the realms of academia since he left high school. He has all the book learning in the world but refuses to do anything meaningful with it. He sees the faults of the world, talks passionately about them, then sits back and does nothing.
