Calling All Mad Scientists! THAT CHEMISTRY SHOW to Play in Rep with THAT PHYSICS SHOW Off-Broadway

Producer Eric Krebs announces the latest in performance science - That Chemistry Show. Written and performed by Borislaw Bilash, That Chemistry Show will begin performances on July 22.

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 comprise That Chemistry Show, 80 minutes of incredible exploration led by long-time "mad scientist" Borislaw Bilash. Get ready for amazement and lots of laughter as Borislaw combines the world of chemistry and the world of show business. Your own world will never be boring again!

"I figured that if That Physics Show could play to over 30,000 audience members since it opened off-Broadway in February,2016, maybe we were on to something," says producer Krebs. "With all the interest in science in our education system and in our political system, I wondered what a chemistry show might look like. We invited Borislaw to show us the best "wow" demonstrations that he had - and WOW! - we were mightily entertained. If one science show is good, two would be even better. So, That Chemistry Show was born."

Starting July 22, That Chemistry Show joins That Physics Show, the 2016 Drama Desk Award Winning off-Broadway sensation that is now in its second smash year.

The performance schedule for That Chemistry Show is Saturday & Sunday: July 22 and 23, August 12, 13, 19, and 20, September 9, 10, 16, 17, and October 1 @ 12noon.
