Ada Twist, Scientist & Friends
TheaterWorksUSA
Based on The Questioneers book series by Andrea Beaty (with illustrations by David Roberts), this rollicking fun musical follows three out-of-the-box thinkers.
This fun musical theatre event is set in Ms. Greer’s classroom of inquisitive learners who engage in social, creative, and iterative problem-solving processes. Rosie Revere, engineer; Iggy Peck, architect; and Ada Twist, scientist, model to a young theatre-goer relevant examples for authentic learning.
This live performing-arts opportunity allows young audiences to step outside themselves and try new ways of experiencing learning. The engagement provides your students opportunities for meeting performance expectations in scientific, environmental and technological literacy standards in Pennsylvania.
