The Aurora Theater in Lawrenceville has plenty of activities to keep young and old engaged with the arts throughout the summer. For instance, there is Aurora Comedy Nights: Dad’s Garage on June 17 and 18, and “It’s Electric!,” an exploration of electricity and heat as the Big Thinkers Science Exploration team experiment with a 5,000-volt Tesla coil. The audience is encouraged to join in the fun, which includes hands-on demonstrations of a hair-raising electrostatic generator, an indoor lightning strike and an experiment with levitation using static electricity.

Squeeze the Clown takes the audience on a wonderful trip of clown music, magic and imagination, and expands our perception of what is possible. Squeeze the Clown will perform his antics for two shows on June 22. auroratheatre.com
