SCHOOLS
The Alphabet of Awesome Science is a fast-paced, visually spectacular and information-rich performance that’s equal parts explosive, messy, spectacular, hilarious, fascinating and gross.
We can't wait for you and your students to join professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science Freak) for a thrilling voyage through the alphabet – where AWESOME words inspire AWESOME science!
Below you will find links to videos and other resources — that you can use before and/or after your visit to the theatre.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in contact by sending us an EMAIL.
