Keith Michael Johnson's Bubbleology : The Secret World of Bubbles

TIME : 10:30AM
AGES : 4 and UP (Toddlers welcome if they sit in Parent/Caregiver's Lap)
Keith Johnson's BUBBLEOLOGY is a touring performance exploring the secret world of bubbles. Featuring state of the art bubble...art and interactive educational content. This hour long program (for all ages but the adults seem to get a bigger kick out of it than even the kids do) combines Keith's love of exploring how things work (science) with his passion for sharing what he's learned in new and creative ways (art). There are bubbles around us all the time, it's just that we don't realize it. What better way is there to encounter the magic hidden in our everyday experience than though someone sharing unique insights in an entertaining and educational style? It doesn't get any better than that.  Tickets are now available at the circulation desk. Program is free but canned-good donations will be gratefully accepted for the Wrentham Food Pantry. This program is supported with a grant from the Sweatt Fund.
