As the nation gears up for its 250th birthday, offer your students a unique and engaging glimpse into the formative years of the USA. This isn’t just another history lesson; it’s an immersive experience that brings the past to life!

Join us at the historic Fox Theatre for a captivating program featuring carefully selected silent movie clips that offer glimpses into pivotal moments in early American history, from the American Revolution and the Civil War to gold rushes and the the Great Depression.

Join the fantastically funny Doktor Kaboom for a side-splitting exploration of the modern scientific method! Spectacular applications of the physical sciences will make jaws drop; audience interactions will have students on the edge of their seats; and a heaping helping of humor will keep the laughs rolling. After this wild ride, students won’t look at science in the same way again!

Showtime:  1 hr.  This is the 9:30AM performance. See the 11:45AM one here.

Seven actors, two feet off the ground, share 21 square feet of space and recreate the American fight for independence, from Lexington to Yorktown. Using only the actors’ bodies, voices, and (pantomimed) cannons, the show evokes an epic time period in American history. Combining tongue-in-cheek humor with a dash of derring-do, “The American Revolution” is a rowdy, bare-boned, physical-theater take on history!

Showtime:  1 hr (50 min. show + 10 min Q&A)

Ages:  4th grade and up

Tickets:
