Can you see the shape of sound in a dancing flame? “OH, NO! That bowling ball is going to smash him in the face.” - but it didn’t! These questions and many more will be answered when professional physics demonstrators David Maiullo and Andrew Yolleck (alternate) return with their scientific “magic” from the world of physics to Theater 555 (555 West 42nd Street) in That Physics Show. Presented by Science Theater Company and directed by Eric Krebs, performances of this award-winning Off-Broadway show began on Saturday, August 13, 2022, for a limited engagement through Sunday, September 4th. The show officially opens tomorrow, Saturday, August 20th at 3pm. For more information, please visit www.sciencetheatercompany.org . Based on the hundreds of physics experiments that are presented at physics conferences and in classrooms across the country, That Physics Show features segments on motion, momentum, vacuum, friction, energy, density, fluid motion, sound waves and sound vibration, light waves, temperature, and many more from the world in which we live - a world controlled by physics. From its critically acclaimed 5-year run in New York City to its tour of theatres in China, That Physics Show has thrilled more than 50,000 people. Founder of Science Theater Company and current Board Chair of the newly formed not-for-profit company, long time theatrical producer Eric Krebs comments: "Twenty years ago, the idea of the Science Theater Company sprang into my head as I watched a fresh and fun physics demonstrator at Rutgers University. This physics demonstrator was Dave Maiullo, the creator of “That Physics Show” that has now played over 500 performances off-Broadway and won the 2016 Drama Desk Award for “Unique Theatrical Experience.” It also inspired the creation of “That Chemistry Show” and “That Inventions Show” which have played in repertory with “That Physics Show” for several years. “After a two-year covid hiatus, we are thrilled to be able to bring back live performances of the Science Theater Company, where, I like to say, we stand at the intersection of education, science, and theatrical entertainment.. It is always great fun to watch two and three generations of a family be amazed and entertained by the world of science." The performance schedule for That Physics Show will be Wednesday-Friday @ 7pm, Saturday @ 11am & 3pm and Sunday @ 3pm. All tickets are $59 and can be purchased online at www.thatphysicsshow.com.
