Bringing science and theatre together can provide the inspiration for a play of exceptional artistic merit and lead to exciting new ways of learning about science. Indeed, we believe the best science plays can be great works of art because of the science they contain and great educational tools because of their artistic value. The competition called for ten-minute plays with a substantial science component. Special consideration was given to plays about physics and mathematics. This contest was open to all Stony Brook University students, faculty and staff.
