Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope
Four hundred years ago, Galileo’s simple adjustment to a child’s spyglass revealed for the first time an infinite and perplexing universe to our eyes and imaginations. Join us today, as the world‘s great telescopes gaze ever further into the distant past—and into the future. Sure to engage audiences of all ages, this show traces the history of the telescope since its invention set to a thrilling soundtrack recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. From the moons of Jupiter to the rings of Saturn and the structure of galaxies, this show explores how telescopes have helped us understand our place in space and how they continue to expand our understanding of the cosmos.

Von Grey Concert
7:30-9 pm  Four sisters, 12 instruments, family-harmonies, and captivating performances all come together to define von Grey – a musical experience that feels bigger than life. von Grey, a rapidly-rising country/pop band from Atlanta, has definitely managed to create a sound of its own. Their original works, although rooted in country, manage to weave in creative elements from across musical genres. Their music is equally at home with tight guitar licks, smokin’ violin solos, rich cello sounds, and fast-pickin’ banjo – an experience not to be missed! Special package including Queen Room and Two VIP tickets - just $109! Reserve online with PROMO CODE "VONG." Call for details.
