Release Date: 9/6/2001. Expired: 9/15/2001

Sept. 15 is Super Saturday at The Renaissance Center.

Usually scheduled for the third Saturday of the month, Super Saturday presents a variety of entertaining and educational experiences available at The Renaissance Center to visitors of all ages at no charge.

This month brings a science fiction movie in the CyberSphere at 4 p.m., along with a performance in the Michael Faraday Science Theater, also at 4 p.m.

At 5 p.m. visitors can participate in a class focusing on folk music and at 6 p.m. children of all ages can learn to manipulate digital images to transfer onto t-shirts.

Super Saturdays are community service-oriented and include mini-classes, programs, demonstrations and other activities beginning at 4 p.m. and going to 7 p.m., followed by ticketed shows at 7 p.m.

“We love the fact that Super Saturdays tend to draw more people to those free events and it also makes them aware of our evening ticketed events as well,” said Brad Diamond, director of Program Development at The Renaissance Center.

Currently playing at 7 p.m. in the Performance Hall is Dearly Departed. Tickets are $10 adults, $8 seniors and $5 children under 13. The community theatre production is a comedy about a Southern family dealing with the death of a loved one. It is directed by Hal Partlow.

Saturday shows in the CyberSphere are 2 p.m. Greatest Wonders of the Universe, 3 p.m. Laser Magic, 7 p.m. Greatest Wonders of the Universe, 8 p.m. Laseropolis and 9 p.m. Laser Vinyl. Tickets for planetarium shows are $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and children. Tickets for laser shows are $6 for all seats.

The next Super Saturday at The Renaissance Center will be Oct. 27 with the 2nd annual Halloween Festival.
