We are performing a show in Sioux Falls this Thursday through Sunday, it's free, in a tent in Falls park @ 8:30, and runs about an hour.
The play's central theme focuses on how human beings see the night sky and why the mythological view and the scientific view can both be celebrated. It will be performed in a circus tent and it utilizes clowning, mime, mask, juggling, and black light/glow props to tell the story. Some famous historical characters show up, Copernicus, Galileo, and Einstein, as well as figures from the stars, Prometheus, the
phoenix, The Great Bear, Cassiopeia, etc.
