New paths, shifting lanes, and unexpected dead ends can send us from one direction to an entirely different destination. Detours, like science, happen to us all, but how do we keep on moving? Join us for an evening of true, personal stories about science from some of New York’s most engaging storytellers along the Hudson River’s gorgeous Pier 57!
Complimentary beverages will be provided to ticket holders and the Discovery Tank will be open to explore and peruse before the show and during intermission.
Hosted by Zack Stovall and Christine Williams.
Doors at 6:30 pm. Show starts at 7:00 pm.
Directions:
Hudson River Park’s Discovery Tank is an interactive technology-powered gallery and classroom at Pier 57. This new space invites visitors of all ages to explore the Hudson River environment virtually. The Discovery Tank is located at the end of Pier 57. Please enter through the south entrance glass doors and walk through the market to the end of the hall. The Discovery Tank will be on your right after the bathrooms.
