Splish Splash Science!

Roll up! Roll up!

The multi-award-winning That Science Gang team returns to Adelaide with the splishiest, splashiest show on Earth — a SCIENCE CIRCUS where the star performer is (drum roll please!) WATER.

Fresh from a sold-out debut Sydney season, join ringmaster Rip Tide as he experiments with water in a series of amazing feats that are guaranteed to have you singing, dancing, laughing, and ducking for cover.

Plus, Rip's going to need a little help up on stage! Will you be brave enough to step into the SPLASH ZONE?

"A superbly crafted blend of humour, fun and science with the ability to inspire curiosity in both the young and the young at heart” Riverside Theatres

At That Science Gang we create science-inspired theatre productions for young people and their families... and then take those shows on tour across Australia and the world. We believe that science is art and that art is a science — and that each can inspire the other. We work with scientists, science communicators and theatre makers to create unique, character-driven "Science Theatre" that entertains as much as it educates. In 2025 we celebrated our 500th performance — and we're only just getting started! We can't wait to share many more awe-inspiring stories with our ever-growing world-wide audience.
