We are thrilled to provide a unique and engaging in-school performance that captivates your students' hearts and minds. Following the show, students will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session and meet and greet with the performers, allowing for a deeper connection to the art and inspiration behind the performance. To further enrich their experience, we provide an electronic study guide filled with valuable resources, including theatrical terms, character insights, and imaginative activities that promote personal reflection. These materials play a vital role in transforming the performance into a memorable educational adventure, allowing students to explore the magic of theatre in meaningful ways.

The wonderful thing about theatre is that it thrives on creativity and imagination, requiring no materials from your school for our in-school performances. Our engaging sessions focus on delivering a captivating show, followed by a Q&A and meet and greet with the performers. This means no extensive resources are needed from your end, allowing us to create magic and foster a love for the arts with minimal preparations. We bring everything necessary to ensure an unforgettable experience for your students!

We require a venue that can provide a spacious area suitable for various small set pieces, a group of actors, a sound system, and adequate seating for the audience, ensuring a comfortable distance from the performers. A gym, auditorium, or any large space will work perfectly for our needs.

Prepare to embark on a cosmic adventure with "The Amazing Adventures of Dr. Wonderful and Her Dog," an inspiring, 60-minute in-school performance that combines the thrill of a musical with the wonders of science. This performance aims to inspire the next generation of thinkers—encouraging them to appreciate the crucial roles of physicists and astronomers while promoting creativity, teamwork, and resilience.

While the same show is presented to all participants, each group will engage with the material in a unique way. One focus will be on responding to the narrative through personal experiences, analyzing the intent behind artistic decisions, and reflecting on their participation during the performance. Discussions and reflections will be adapted accordingly to foster a richer appreciation of both the arts and sciences in a collaborative environment.

Performance Synopsis: There are no puzzles in space, right? Wrong! Space is one giant puzzle waiting to be put together by physicists, astronomers, and a brainy girl who goes by the name Dr. Wonderful. Fly through the solar system with Dr. Wonderful and her amazing adventure team of Newton (the dog) and Ben (the human) in this all-new musical! Saving a super star from disappearing is no small task, especially when the star is 1.3 million times the size of Earth and 93 million miles away. But when Dr. Wonderful receives the call, her team leaps into action from their laboratory/bedroom into outer space. With a couple of butterscotch candies and a rock song from Mom in the mix, the mystery solvers are amazed by their final discovery. Girl-detective-noir meets science-geek-chic in this super cool astronomical event!

To maintain a focused atmosphere, students should attend the production with a suitable number of chaperones, as established by the school and teacher, to strike a balance between support and minimizing distractions.
