SECRET COMEDY SHOW
Saturday, May 30, 2026
Comedy is at its best when there’s a surprise – that’s why Don’t Tell Comedy puts on events where the performers and location are kept secret until days before the show. With over 250 cities already in on the joke, you never know where they'll set up shop, or who might pop in. Want to be let in on the secret? They are coming to the Center – just don’t tell anyone!! 🤫

This show will be out of this world! Three fun-yet-informative visual presentations with music, prizes, refreshments and guaranteed good company. Beacon Bicycle Coalition Co-Founder Yvonne Caruthers, a 35 year career cellist in the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington DC, presents Physics, Fashion, and Feminism: How Bicycles Continue to Change the World. Next, Astrophysicist, Author & Folklorist Dr. Moiya McTier brings us Constellations: the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly. Finally, Dr. Clara Sousa-Silva, a quantum astrochemist and molecular astrophysicist takes us into the strange and unknown with How to Maybe Find Aliens.
