Audiences are encouraged to grab lab coats and safety goggles, “because science is about to explode on the Lutcher Theater stage!”

Welcoming “Doktor Kaboom! Look Out! Science is Coming!” to the Lutcher stage on Jan. 19, with two shows at 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. as part of the Lutcher Incredible Kids Events, the venue is prepping for an explosive good time.

David Epley, through the character of Doktor Kaboom! performs original interactive science comedy shows for audiences of all ages. Creatively blending theatre arts with the wonders of scientific exploration, Doktor Kaboom! is celebrated for his ability to keep crowds riveted with interest and rolling with laughter. Join Kaboom! for a sidesplitting journey of increasingly spectacular – sometimes successful –  science experiments “designed to involve, excite, educate and entertain.”

“This quick-paced, one-hour show will keep students entertained with innovative science experiments that are hilarious and enthralling to our area students,” said Lynae Sanford, executive director of the Lutcher Theater.

Topics covered during Doktor Kaboom! Look Out! Science is Coming! include: safety; pressure and force; simple machines; velocity; application of science to everyday life; the scientific method, hypothesis and experimentation; multiple experimentation; constant discovery of new information and data; definitions: chemical reactions, exothermic, external and chemical formula; mass; air pressure and demonstration vs. experimentation.

The show is best suited for youth grades 4-8 and family programming, promoters detail. Because of sponsorships, student tickets for Doktor Kaboom! Look out! Science is Coming! are offered at $5.
