Family Performance The Franzini Family Science Circus
Discovery Theater Performance
(for ages 5-12) Professor Franzini and Lippo the Clown lead an action-packed show about gravity, inertia, circular motion, air pressure, and balance -- with the help of hula hoops, umbrellas, balls, cigar boxes, balloons, and Rosie, the scientifically trained wonder dog. The show is wild and wacky (and just a tiny bit educational).
