★★★★★ “If I could give it six stars I would” The Advertiser
★★★★★ “An absolute triumph” Lost in Theatreland
★★★★★ “Sets the gold standard for family entertainment at the fringe” Kids in Adelaide

Join Lexi and Noel (the Word Nerd and Science Freak) for an hour of carefully crafted chaos, where fascinating words inspire mind-blowing science... that floats, flies, squirts, sprays, ignites and erupts!

Presented by: NCM, That Science Gang
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.
