Basilosaurus is a new play written by Marisela Treviño Orta and commissioned by SPARC Theater.

While Grace, a Professor of Paleontology, examines a past climate crisis that resulted in the extinction of an apex predator, we explore what it means to stand on the precipice of great change. Other characters, artists and lawmakers, face their responsibilities and find the courage to make the changes necessary to deal with the crisis at hand.
