About the Show
A Melodious Musichemical
Manifestation was first performed in April of 1995. Since then, there
have been 37 performances. Shows are performed twice a year at
Creighton. There are two performances in the first week in November to
celebrate National Chemistry Week. In April there are performances for
Creighton’s Chemistry Field Day.
It was the inspiration and
enthusiasm of Dr. Michels and two students, Kiran Kuna and Derek
Woodrum, who brought this demonstration program to Creighton. The
performance has evolved considerably throughout its history, going from
three performers in white lab coats to thirty-one performers mostly in
costume. Throughout its 10-year history there have been 165 different
student performers. Six Creighton Chemistry faculty members have
contributed to the show. Most notable is Dr. Kelly Sullivan whose
experience with theater enabled the show to reach levels it could never
have achieved without her direction.
The show serves many
functions. Our primary goal is to entertain you with the joy of
chemistry in a unique way. The show also brings our faculty and
students together to share our “talents” with the community.
