Member Preview - Amazing Butterflies Saturday, January 21, 10:00 AM, Carnegie Museum of Natural History | |
Be among the first to embark on a journey revealing the unusual relationships between caterpillars, butterflies, and their natural surroundings. By weaving through a room-sized maze, children adventure through leaves, learn how to move like a caterpillar, transform into a butterfly, and take flight. | |
Amazing Butterflies invites you to shrink down into the undergrowth to become one of the most extraordinary creatures on earth by climbing in pupa pods, crawling through a monarch tunnel, soaring down the butterfly zip line and fending off a hairy plant attack. Together, families will explore this interactive experience and learn the surprising challenges butterflies face every day. I', sending this article out in advance because I expect the event to be popular and space is limited.
Go to the link and Reserve your spot. If you are not a Museum member, consider joining to be able to attend events like this and to receive the wonderful emails from the curators.
Memberships begin at $50 for seniors and $75 for individuals (there are other fees for families).

The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
November 25- December 11, presented by Quantum Theatre
When one sense fails us, another takes over—and lets us live with newfound joy.
Based on Oliver Sacks’ cherished book, this story of a musician who loses his sight challenges all we know about how we view the world. It’s a potent parable is a deeply empathetic, singularly moving event. This chamber opera features a seven-piece orchestra, three sterling singers, and a vibrant video projection that promise to let us see life more clearly and brightly than ever before.
Quantum’s artists mine all kinds of non-traditional spaces for the sensory possibilities they offer when combined with creative design. They find it meaningful to place the audience and performers together, the moving parts inside the works. This production is at 200 N. Highland Ave, corner of N. Highland Avenue and Broad Street.
