A family show especially written for children from 6 to 12 years old. The show has a "hard" science fiction story line, however, all the science and astronomy is accurate.

Your planetarium theatre becomes the LUXURY Spacecruiser, "Cosmos Princess", your passengers (the audience) join Robbie and his mother on a Sunday afternoon cruise to see the wonders of the Universe (after all, "they" are a little more advanced than we are)!

After lift-off, the Cruise Director (main narrator) takes us to the site of the formation of a star and it's family of planets.

Then were off to see a super nova! Later, during our visit to a black hole, we meet Dr. Science (an archetypal egghead). We watch Dr. Science perform a relativistic "clock" experiment outside the Spacecruiser, and then unannounced (but planned), Dr. Science goes overboard and "falls" through the "black hole, and vanishes!"

After a moment of silence for Dr. Science we forge on to see the exotic balloon creatures of GEM S. While at GEM S we pick up some strange radio signals and follow them to their source the "GREEN PLANET!"

Join us and find out what happens to the passengers of the "Cosmos Princess" as they encounter THE GREEN PLANET!

For this production we urge you to shoot either a single slide, or a part pan, or a full panorama of your institution, or of a familiar local land mark to add some local color to the production. Some of the slides sequences allow you to "zoom" using a dissolve unit, or allow you to size the image to "fit" the scene. We even provide you with an "installation slide" that shows you what the Dr. Science sequence should look like after installation.

Special Effects Needed

A two projector dissolve unit, a third projector (single slide is ok) registered to the same spot. A second dissolve unit, preferably with a pair of wide angle lenses. In this production the planetarium projector is only a prop!

Suggested Special Effects

The "eat your heart out, George Lucas --Jump to light speed --brute force effect." A "swirling blurbie projector", orrery, fiber optic or grain of wheat star, a different "swirling blurbie", a rotating gate projector (for a binary pair), several projectors with a rotating wheel covered with coloured gels, a slewing mirror and a strobe. It would be nice if... You had several zooms, dissolving panoramas, many projectors and the money to have me come install the show for you! ...it would be nice, but not necessary!
