Frost Science Launches Interactive Planetarium Show in Miami May 1–4
The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Miami is debuting a new interactive show at the Frost Planetarium that lets visitors guide a fictional space mission through some of the universe’s most dangerous environments.
Titled How to Die in Space: An Interactive Adventure Through the Cosmos, the live, choose-your-own-adventure experience allows audiences to make decisions that shape the course of the mission and its outcome. Created by Frost Science Studios in collaboration with astrophysicist Dr. Paul M. Sutter and inspired by his book, the show combines scientific concepts with audience participation as it explores black holes, supernovas and other cosmic hazards.
Opening weekend runs from Friday, May 1, through Monday, May 4, with three performances scheduled daily to coincide with National Space Day and Star Wars Day. A members-only screening will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 3, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis for guests who present a member wristband at the planetarium entrance.
During the May 1–4 celebration, visitors can also participate in a Space Passport program that offers hands-on activities and rewards from the museum’s Science Store, as well as a special screening of National Geographic’s Wildest Weather in the Solar System on Saturday, May 2. The new show features an original score developed with the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, and after opening weekend it will continue as a once-daily offering at the Frost Planetarium, included with regular museum admission.
