The script introduces planets and celestial bodies in a way that turns a science lesson into a memorable classroom event, making space truly ace for every student involved.

The Mechanics of the Play: Space is Ace

The flexible structure of Space is Ace makes it ideal for any class size or performance duration. Characters include the Sun, Moon, and planets, with special appearances by asteroids and comets. The script encourages participation and expression, whether through solo parts or group involvement, ensuring every student can shine.

Nasa now classifies Pluto as a dwarf planet, located in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. This script creatively represents Pluto as “Pluto and the Kuiper Band”, a fun pun on the Kuiper Belt’s various objects orbiting the Sun. The students can play multiple roles as “musicians” in an astral rock band, adding an exciting dynamic to the performance.
