Dead Sea Scrolls Lecture: Stars, Scrolls, and Angels - Astronomy in Ancient Times
Presented by The Franklin Institute at The Franklin Institute - Franklin Theater August 9, 2012 In an age before telescopes, what did ancients know and think about the stars? What did they imagine when they looked up into the starry night? New evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls has revealed lost traditions of Jewish observation and speculation about celestial cycles, exposing the forgotten place of ancient Jews between Babylonian and Greek scientists. This talk opens a window on ancient astronomy, as seen from the perspectives of ancient history and modern science alike.

Watson Adventures’ Murder at the Franklin Institute Scavenger Hunt
Presented by Watson Adventures at The Franklin Institute June 16, 2012 Join Watson Adventures on a unique murder mystery scavenger hunt for adults!
Someone, or some thing, has been bumping off Franklin Institute staffers involved in the recent discovery of a long-lost invention by Benjamin Franklin. This “infernal machine” has a murky past: Freemasons supposedly used it as part of a secret ritual. Are the deaths caused by the invention, or part of the fabled “Curse of the Freemasons”? Or is a serial killer on the loose?... |

Dogtown and Z-Boys
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre June 3, 2012 “A dazzlingly crafted documentary about the ’70s surf punks of lower Los Angeles who singlehandedly turned skateboarding into an extreme sport.
We see endless Super-8 footage of long-blond-haired kids — think Hanson in the urban wasteland — as they ride low on their boards and then advance to empty swimming pools, zipping along the surfaces of the concrete basins and right up into the air. Sure, it’s only skateboarding. But the thrill of Dogtown is that... |

However, it stands alone with an infectious hard rock attitude. Patterson doesn’t have the epic aims of those filmmakers but equals... |

Dazed and Confused
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre July 20, 2012 “…The film is about throwaway moments: It orbits around a story that ends in nothing more consequential than some friends heading off for Aerosmith tickets. Dazed And Confused‘s enduring cult-classic status speaks to how simply and perfectly it evokes the last day of school in small-town Texas in 1976, not how it appeases the narrative gods.
…but even for the sober, it’s a contact high, because it offers a world that’s easy and pleasant to... |
