Science is reaching a new level of awesome as as the ultimate kids series performance of the 2024-25 Spotlight Season takes the stage at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre.
All the way from Australia, the award-winning, That Science Gang鈥檚 production of The Alphabet of Awesome Science plays out Wednesday, April 16 at 5:30 p.m.
Join professors Lexi Con (the Word Nerd) and Noel Edge (the Science Freak) for a thrilling voyage through the alphabet 鈥� where great big, 鈥渃hewy sesquipedalian words鈥� inspire mind-blowing scientific surprises.
Together, this 鈥渄ad-joke quipping,鈥� prank-pulling pair of polished professors strut their stuff: It鈥檚 a tongue-twisting race from A to Z-ed that鈥檚 equal parts explosive, messy, hilarious, fascinating and of course 鈥� gross!
Did we mention this is a race? The plucky pair of professors have just one-hour to complete their alphabetical, scientifical countdown 鈥� that鈥檚 just about two minutes per experiment.
And if things weren鈥檛 exciting enough, every performance is completely different, with the audience shouting-out the order of which letters are revealed and experiments explored.
Lexi Con has curated a curious collection of her favourite words, (one for every letter of the alphabet), with each word providing Noel Edge with an inspirational jumping-off point for 26 quirky scientific demonstrations 鈥� that float, fly, squirt, spray, ignite and erupt!
鈥淭his delightfully friendly and dizzingly enthusiastic show is an informative and fun hour for both kids and their parents,鈥� writes Tom Rolph, of Broadway Baby.
The Alphabet of Awesome Science is most suitable for kids ages five o 12 and families, with warnings: 鈥淪ome loud noises, flashing lights, with some smoke and haze special effects.鈥�
Tickets are just $12 at the Ticket Seller Box Office at 250-549-SHOW (7469) or online at https://www.ticketseller.ca.
