Are you looking for a new, high-energy outreach show? These fast-paced education programs add excitement wherever they go!


The Great Color Caper

Oh no! Someone has stolen all of the colors from the city of Spectropolis… and you’ll enlist your audience’s help to restore color to the city!

In The Great Color Caper, the audience helps solve the mystery of the missing colors as they learn about the nature of light, how colors are derived from light and pigments, and how we see and perceive them. Produced in partnership with PPG Industries, the show has fantasy galore, but it also features real scientists talking about their real-life work. It’s 45 minutes of high-energy, interactive, multimedia demonstrations on the scientific principles behind color and light. The Great Color Caper is the most colorful show you’ll ever take on the road!

Price: $50,000

Fractured Physics

Talk about high impact science! This outreach program dives deep into Newton’s Second Law (hint: that’s the one about momentum) by demonstrating the amazing properties of glass. Journey to a top-secret laboratory to see how glass is made, what makes it strong, and how it is adapted for car windshields, airplane glass, fiber-optic communications, and more. The audience learns about physical science concepts that help them understand how objects withstand impact, why things break and how things resist breaking, and how glass refracts light of different wavelengths.

Fractured Physics includes interactive demonstrations like shattering panes of automotive glass, standing on light bulbs, and martial-arts board breaking. Plus, the program includes video clips of glass artisans and real scientists working at the cutting edge of glass research.
