Starball: A Dreamy Musical Astronomy Show at West of Lenin

After more than 20 years performing at planetariums around the world, John Kaufmann and Dan Dennis are once again bringing their delightful and beloved show, “Starball: A Dreamy Musical Astronomy Show” home to Seattle! 

Kaufmann and Dennis developed “Starball” while working together at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center. Beloved by audiences of all ages, this will be the 5th revival of the show in Seattle. While Seattle is Starball’s home base, world events have precluded bringing the show back until now. We’re delighted to offer a week of hometown performances prior to bringing the show to planetariums in Hamburg and Berlin.

The show, which truly brings audiences’ dreams to life, will have an exclusive run July 10-14, 2024, at West of Lenin's pop-up planetarium, specially built for this production.

Directed by Rachel Katz Carey, “Starball” combines live theater, improvisation, original music, and cosmological inquiry into an entertaining, engaging performance. Taking inspiration from audience members’ actual dreams, the performers facilitate the creation of new constellations and mythologies in the night sky.
