Doktor Kaboom is making science fun for everyone this September at the Coppell Arts Center on Saturday, September 20 at 2 PM & 6 PM. Doktor Kaboom! Look Out! Science is Coming takes audiences of all ages on an interactive, educational tour of the modern scientific method using humor while demonstrating some explosive applications of the physical sciences.
Having been described as “part Mister Wizard, part Mr. Rogers,” Doktor Kaboom explores a wide range of exciting science topics, from safety and simple machines to velocity, pressure, and the forces that shape our world. The show is best for grades 3-8 but is fun for the whole family.
Science communicator, stage actor, and comedian David Epley created Doktor Kaboom in 2006. Epley is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, and has been fortunate enough to discover two passions in his life. Science, his first, took him to studies at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. His second, performing, became his career, and for 20 years David has made his living writing, performing, and directing original interactive theatre across the US and Canada. Part of Epley's message as a science communicator, which he reiterates on stage and televised appearances, is that "science is for everybody."
