Experiment: like your life depends on it! This interactive, thought-provoking evening of storytelling will have you asking yourself how you choose what to believe.
About this Event

Professor David Reiley, research scientist by trade and curious experimenter by nature, examines (with your help!) how we form our beliefs and how these beliefs shape our lives.

In this captivating performance, David examines the power and importance of experimentation and beliefs through a series of personal stories on topics including love, baseball, phone sex, and Magic: The Gathering.

You'll think about your beliefs in a way you may never have before, and you may even start some experiments of your own.
