North Hills High School digital immersion theater will
welcome community members in October. A double feature of two back-to-back
shows will be shown on the 24-foot dome on Oct. 11, 19 and 29. “Wilbear’s
Adventure” starts at 6:30 p.m. and “Cosmic Castaways” will follow at 7:15 p.m.“Wilbear’s Adventure” follows a Teddy Bear named Wilbear who
just wants to fly! Join him as he learns about all things sky from
constellations to the Wright Brothers.
“Cosmic Castaways” tells the story of what happens when
galaxies collide and what happens do those stars in a collision. The
presentations explores the Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy and the possible fate of
our own Sun and solar system.
All shows are free and open to the public, but all digital
immersion theater shows require reservations. Reservations can be made by

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.
