Spring heralds the dawn of the natural “new year” when the earth blossoms with rebirth, regeneration, and growth. Our timeless link to the planet is in the spotlight in an interactive Discovery Theater original that explores the traditional folk wisdom and the modern earth science that explains the greening of the year. From the myth of Persephone’s return to the seeds sprouting in our garden, this delightful look at spring’s bounty of life offers wonderful opportunities for learning and fun.
Made possible by a generous grant from the Smithsonian Women’s Committee and a partnership with The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County.
Please Note: This year, live performances of Science of Spring at Discovery Theater will not be available.
