Apollo to the Moon

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompson's Point Road Portland, ME 04102 (map)

All his life, Scott wanted to go to the moon.

He sets his goals and works hard, learns about NASA, the Apollo missions, and our country's journey to space. Apollo to the Moon is an exciting look at the breathtaking risks and unforgettable heroism of the American Space program. Told through the lens of one young man's dreams to become an astronaut, this thrilling story takes you on a journey that is truly out of this world. An exciting multi-media production, Apollo to the Moon has featured at major international theatre festivals in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland, as well as museums, science centers, theatres, and schools across the United States. Apollo to the Moon shares with a national audience one young man's dream to become an astronaut and the decade's dream to reach the impossible -- the moon.
