Laser Show Returns to Planetarium
The Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill welcomes the return of laser rock shows . Music from classic rock artists like Pink Floyd, U2, Led Zeppelin, and others highlights. This time around the experience is “enhanced by 3-D”, which means that fans can buy filtering glasses in the gift shop for a small fee before the show (please don’t confuse this campy 3-D technology with the active shutter technology Panasonic is almost ready to roll out for home theater installations).
On Halloween the show takes a special family-oriented turn, featuring songs like Ghostbusters and Thriller.
The show runs Friday and Saturday nights thru November 22. Tickets are $9.50 for adults and $7.50 for students and Morehead members. The schedule each night follows:
- Laser Classic Rock, 7 p.m.
- Laser U2, 8 p.m.
- Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, 9 p.m. (adult-oriented)
- Laser Zeppelin, 10 p.m.
- Pink Floyd’s The Wall, 11 p.m.
