That Physics Show and That Chemistry Show will resume performances on February 17 at The Playroom Theater, producers have announced.

That Physics Show, recipient of the 2016 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience, is written and performed by lifetime physics demonstrator David Maiullo (and his alternate, fellow physics demonstrator Andrew Yolleck). Based on the hundreds of physics experiments that are presented at physics conferences and in classrooms across the country, the production features segments on motion, momentum, vacuum, friction, energy, density, fluid motion, sound waves and sound vibration, light waves, temperature and many more from the world in which we live — a world controlled by physics.

That Chemistry Show meanwhile is described as follows: "A candle that moves water, a paper cup that won't burn, a firefly without fire. An atomic flash, weaponized sugar, a hydrogen bomb. Genie in a bottle, secret writing, elephant toothpaste…Yes! All these and more make up That Chemistry Show, 80 minutes of incredible exploration led by longtime mad scientist' Borislaw Bilash."
