We wandered into Sunday night's Starball show at the Pacific Science Center with no idea of what to expect. Improv? A planetarium? We were bored and didn't feel like a movie so took a chance on a tip from The Stranger. It's a goofy little geek-fest of a show but easy to recommend. Mixing up themes of dreams, grass-roots activism vs. tyrany, astronomical science and astrological mythology, the "Conductor" and the "Proxy" dance and run around the tiny little PacSci Planetarium making believe they're revolutionary science warriors and doing play battle to restore the audience's starry conciousness. It's high falutin and low brow all at once and as corny as any improv. But the themes are smart enough to pull things together and mesh just-good-enough with the audience interaction that it really is a 'show' and not just two guys pretending.
