Schedule
10:30 a.m.-12 p.m, and 1-2:30 p.m.
Family Workshops
Beneath a real M/D-21 Blackbird
spy plane, families can drop-in and build a whimsical paper glider of
the Mach 3 jet (aka, “the sled”). All supplies will be provided, and
some additional materials will be given to supercharge their glider for
more flying fun at home.
Noon-1 p.m.
Live Holiday Music
One hour of live holiday music provided by the Boeing Employees Concert Band in the Museum’s Great Gallery.
2-3:30 p.m.
Live Comedy Improv with a Movie
Jet City Improv comedians will perform in front of a screening of the 1964 film, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
This “Twisted Flicks” version is a comedy show that adds fun to an old
"B" movie by combining the film with live improv, music and more. The
improvisers will use audience suggestions to create new dialogue, music
and sound effects on the spot. The show will be in the Charles Simonyi
Space Gallery.
