North Hills High School digital immersion theater will
welcome community members in September. A double feature of two back-to-back
shows will be shown on the 24-foot dome on Sept. 14, 19 and 24. “Sunstruck”
starts at 6:30 p.m. and “Two Pieces of Glass” will follow at 7:15 p.m.“Sunstruck” takes viewers on a journey to discover the
wonders of the sun and investigate how it has supported life on Earth for
millennia.
“Two Pieces of Glass” tells how the telescope helped us
understand our place in space and continues to expand our understanding of the
universe. It details how telescopes work and how the largest observatories in
the world use them.
All shows are free and open to the public, but all digital
immersion theater shows require reservations. Reservations can be made by
calling 412-318-1000 ext. 3166 or emailing [email protected]. If no
reservations have been made by the end of the last school day prior to the
show, the presentation will be canceled. Group reservations for community
organizations are accepted, and special events for community members and groups
can be scheduled.
The North Hills High School digital immersion theater is
located on the third floor of the high school at 53 Rochester Road in Ross
Township. The gift shop that supports
the North Hills High School Astronomy Club will be open for all shows.
North Hills remains one of only a few districts across the
state to offer a digital immersion theater for educational and community
outreach purposes in a public high school. It is overseen by high school
teacher Karen Grumski.
