We are thrilled to be bringing you these events in collaboration with the Fiske Planetarium, which has a long history in the audio-visual arts community as a center for leading-edge projection research and development. Constructed in 1975, the 65-foot diameter dome is the largest planetarium between Chicago and Los Angeles and seats 200 guests in cushioned, reclined seats.
The dome features an 8K resolution projection screen and seating is arranged to allow for fully-encompassing visual display. The built-in 7.1 channel surround sound system allows for precision in auditory placement and a highly unique audience perspective. The experienced Fiske A/V team will be assisting on-site during these events to ensure seamless flow over the course of the show. And yes, we will be bringing a bit of low-end reinforcement :)
Seats are first come, first served and events begin promptly: similar to a live theatrical performance, if you are not in your seat by the start of the show, you will be escorted there by a friendly usher. This is done to minimize interruption for those already inside the planetarium. There is no seat saving - please show courtesy to each other.
Showtime is 3.5 hours including a 10-minute intermission between Act 1 & Act 2, and again between Act 2 & Act 3 You may exit the planetarium any time, and an usher will be monitoring the entrance. Lobby doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime and remain open for 10 minutes after event conclusion. Food & limited merchandise will be available at these times.
Please be mindful of your surroundings and neighbors! This includes minimizing loud talking, using your phone, or any other disruptive behaviors, during the performances. Please dim your phone screen and no flash photography. Fiske ushers will quickly and kindly address any issues so as to maintain a positive experience for all.
Light snacks and NA drinks will be sold and may be consumed only in the lobby. Outside food and beverage is not permitted. As always, water is free! Water bottles are allowed. Large bags are not allowed and all property brought into the planetarium is subject to search. The Fiske is a smoke-free environment. Stuffies and comfy attire are encouraged :) Please pick up any trash, keep walkways clear - and enjoy the show!
