SUMMARY:Erth's DINOSAUR ZOO LIVE
DESCRIPTION:Erth’s DINOSAUR ZOO LIVE guides audiences on a breathtaking tour through a pre-historic world. Amazingly life-like dinosaurs and other creatures are presented in a theatrical performance brought to life by a team of skilled performers and puppeteers and designed with the help of professional paleontologists. \nThese puppets are so extraordinarily realistic you may feel the urge to run and hide – but don’t! You won’t want to miss a minute of this fun\, unique\, entertaining and educational live show. While it may indeed have been 65 million years in the making\, we think you’ll agree\, it’s well worth the wait. \n*This is a sensory inclusive performance. There will be changes to production to accommodate families with members on the autism spectrum\, or who have other sensory sensitivities\, including low house lights\, exclusion of strobe lighting\, softened sounds\, specially trained volunteers to provide audience support and quiet spaces and activity areas for families in the lobby. \nAbout the preshow Curtain Warmer\nTicketholders are invited to join us at 5:40 PM in the Orpheum Theater lobby for a preshow activity. Join the fun with dino-mite preshow activities. Color\, take pictures\, and meet a dinosaur!

SUMMARY:FLIP Fabrique: Blizzard
DESCRIPTION:With Blizzard\, FLIP Fabrique takes you on a crazy\, poetic and gentle journey in the dead of winter\, and invites you to lose yourself in a moment of complete wonder. With performers at the peak of their art and outstanding visual poetry\, Blizzard promises to blow away everything in its path. \nWhat if winter has taken over?\nNot just outside\, in the streets and in the fields\,\nBut also in the houses\, in the bedrooms\nUnderneath our clothes\, and even right into our hearts. Everything\, absolutely everything\, buried under the snow\, Obliterated by a white-out.\nThe north wind freezes time as it flows over us.\nWould it be a catastrophe?\nOr a chance to start over\,\nTo fix our mistakes?\nA new blank page\nIn the shape of a blizzard. \nAbout the preshow Curtain Warmer\nTicketholders are invited to join us at 6:10 PM in the Orpheum Theater lobby for a preshow activity. The Luminarium will be bringing science and all things STEM to complement the thrilling acrobatics of Flip Fabrique.

SUMMARY:National Geographic Live: View From Above with astronaut Terry Virts
DESCRIPTION:Step back\, about 220 miles from Earth\, and experience our planet from a new perspective. Gain a deeper understanding of our planet’s beauty\, climate\, and place in the universe from former International Space Station Commander Terry Virts\, who took hours of video and hundreds of thousands of still images from the station’s 360-degree viewing module. As a NASA astronaut\, pilot of the space shuttle Endeavour\, and crew member on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft\, Virts spent 200 consecutive days in space—one of the longest continuous space missions of any NASA astronaut. Virts appears in the 2016 IMAX film A Beautiful Planet and is the author of View from Above: An Astronaut Photographs the World. \nPilot and astronaut Terry Virts has logged over 5\,300 flight hours in more than 40 different aircraft including the F-16 “Viper” and the Space Shuttle. He has taken more photographs from space than any other astronaut.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Biomedical Scientist Zoltan Takacs
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 20\, noon\, for a very special Lunch and Learn with National Geographic Live biomedical scientist\, Zoltan Takacs at the Holland Center. This intimate setting will allow you to ask questions related to Earth’s Deadliest Lifesavers and Zoltan Takacs career. \nThe Earth’s deadliest animal venoms are a source of a number of lifesaving medicines used to treat everything from heart attacks to diabetes. Yet there are millions of venom toxins in nature that remain unexplored. Biomedical scientist and inventor Zoltan Takacs collects snake\, scorpion\, jellyfish\, and other venoms from around the world. Back in the lab\, using cutting-edge genomics\, he creates combinatorial venom libraries to identify leads for novel medicines. \n\n\nDriven by his childhood passion\, he’s traveled to 155 countries and become an aircraft pilot\, scuba diver and real-life survivor\, roughing it in a hammock deep in the Amazon or in remote Pacific islands. In his mission\, he survived charging elephants\, pirated waters and a series of snake bites and venom spit in his face (all his faults he admits). Now he’s allergic to both snake venom and antivenom. \n\n\nThis event is free\, though tickets are required. Doors open at 11:30am\, lunch available for purchase. \n
