PLANETARIUM CHRISTMAS SHOW DEC.19 and 20 TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ALL 8 P.M. SHOWS
Eastern University is proud to present its Star of Bethlehem Planetarium program on December 19 and 20 in the Julia Fowler Planetarium, McInnis Hall, on the St. Davids campus. The show is based around a dialog between an astronomer and his five-year-old daughter (played by Biology professor Maria Fichera’s daughter, Carina) who wants to know why we have certain Christmas traditions like mistletoe, candy canes, twelve days of Christmas, decorating houses with greenery, and the Star of Bethlehem. Show times are 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. each night.
Tickets are by reservation only and are $5 per seat, pay at the door. The presentation will last about 45 minutes. To make reservations, send an e-mail to planet@eastern.edu or call 610.341.1390. Leave a name and the number of seats you would like to reserve and you will get a confirmation within one to two business days.Visit: www.eastern.edu/planetarium
