About

By Recent Cutbacks 

★★★★★ “A non-stop laugh fest” (Theatre Weekly) 

Following Off-Broadway and London runs, the Fringe hit Hold On To Your Butts makes its ArtPower debut at The Loft. Created by Recent Cutbacks, a comedy ensemble known for movie parodies, this production reimagines the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park using two actors, a Foley artist creating sound effects onstage, and a bit of lo-fi magic.

Every dinosaur encounter, narrow escape, and iconic moment comes to life through physical comedy, rapid-fire character changes, and ingenious stagecraft. Whether you’re revisiting a childhood favorite or meeting its dinosaurs for the first time, Hold On To Your Butts finds fresh humor and surprise in one of cinema’s most beloved adventures.
