SCIENCE PEOPLE is designed to build on the natural curiosity of young students and demonstrate how men and women through the ages have used that same curiosity to examine and explain the workings of the universe.

This show focuses on the personalities and motivation of the great scientists, as well as their accomplishments. It conveys the wonder and awe of Galileo examining the stars and the planets with his telescope. The audience joins Isaac Newton as he questions why apples fall to the earth. They witness Louis Pasteur using his microscope to find the germs that cause milk to spoil.

George Washington Carver uses his knowledge of botany to save southern farms from the boll weevil. The modern world comes into focus with the work of Marie Curie and the development of x-rays.

With the typical verve and humor of Duet Productions, this play makes the scientific method come to life.

   
   

Finding King Tut

 

In 1922 British archeologist Howard Carter uncovered the tomb of an Egyptian king that had lain hidden for over 3,000 years. Carter was astounded by the magnificent treasures buried along with King Tutankhamen. This delightful play brings the stories of the dedicated archeologist and the youthful king together. Audiences will get a glimpse into the rich cultural history of ancient Egypt, while learning of the skills and persistence of those involved in archeological digs.

 

This historical tale is told with a marvelous sense of mystery and adventure, and, as always, a touch of humor to keep things lively. Two actors play all the characters. The show runs forty-five minutes.

 

Versions are available for elementary and junior high schools.
