Bloor Cinema 'Spacetime Star Theatre' Takes You Across the Universe
Sunday, February 22, 2009 
The McLaughlin Planetarium may be closed, but the next best thing is now at Bloor Cinema.
Hidden on the underside of the Bloor Cinema’s balcony is a large star scape mural, brought to life in a series of midnight interactive voyages across the universe. Hosted by Starscape artist, Philip John Kuntz and StarryNight software expert Todd Howe. There’s nothing else like this anywhere in the world.
The result of community action and a passion for a cause, Spacetime Star Theatre works as part of StarryNight’s software development team in forging new ground in public astronomy education.
Upcoming shows include the following:
March 14th | Killer Asteroids and You
