TITANIC NIGHTS

Presented by the Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada

This April experience what it was like to stand on the deck of the Titanic 100 years ago, relive the music, learn the dances, enjoy a fashion show and taste the food prepared by local gourmet chef Craig Rodrigue. These programs are designed with the whole family in mind and combine old and new world technologies.

Every Saturday in April from 1 pm to 4 pm: Night of the Titanic Dome Program

A 22.5-minute multi-media planetarium program that combines "fully immersive" computer animation with the latest scientific research, is allowing viewers inside dome theaters to experience what it was like to stand on the deck of the doomed ocean liner Titanic the night she sank. "Night of the Titanic" shows the unique conditions in Earth and space that -- coupled with human errors -- contributed to the sinking of the ship on April 15, 1912. Learn about: ocean currents, iceberg formation and drift, global warming.

Cost: $10 for Adults, Children 12 and under half price. A Multi Pack for all three Titanic activities is available for $25.

Thursday, April 12 – 7 pm – The Women, Children, Fashion and Dance of the Titanic

Find out more about some of the women and children on board the Titanic on her maiden voyage, from Madeline Astor in First Class to nine-week-old Millvina Dean in Third Class, and of course, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown!" We'll also take a look at the fashion of the early 1900's, and learn a dance or two that could have been enjoyed by Third Class passengers (and anyone else who snuck down to take part in the festivities!).

Cost: $10 for Adults, Children 12 and under half price. A Multi Pack for all three Titanic activities is available for $25.

Friday, April 13 – 7 pm – Media, Music and Food of the Titanic

Explore the Titanic in Media and Culture, from movie clips to interactive video games and more! Also, listen to some examples of popular music of the time period, some of which was played on board. Chef Craig Rodrigue will provide samples of recipes served to first, second and third-class passengers while you listen and learn more about the most famous ship ever built!

Cost: $10 for Adults, Children 12 and under half price. A Multi Pack for all three Titanic activities is available for $25.
