Science Theatre is an organization run by student volunteers at Michigan State University that go out into the community to teach children and adults alike about the wonders of science.

To request a Science Theatre performance at your school, institution, or event, please contact us at sciencet@pa.msu.edu with the subject title "Science Theatre Performance Request". Appearances are made free of charge and can be customized in length and content to fit your needs. Performances are made by student volunteers well-trained in safety and the demonstrations they will present.

The Science Theatre office is located in the lower level of MSU's Abrams Planetarium. For any information or to join Science Theatre, please contact us by email.
