Add to Calendar 2025-06-23 13:00:00 2025-06-23 14:00:00 America/Chicago Professor Universe: Into the Deep Professor Universe is back to take kids on a comedic journey through the science of the ocean. Judy Z. Kishner Library

Professor Universe is back to take kids on a comedic journey through the science of the ocean.

When a riptide separates the newly enamored Professor Universe and Melina the Mermaid, each bravely sets off to find their special someone. Along their travels, they meet a friendly coral, a mischievous ocean current conductor, a hungry angler fish and more! 

Every scientific concept is conveyed through fun, play and audience participation via a cast of kooky characters. Professor Universe keeps kids laughing while learning. 

Kids will learn how amazing systems of global currents, wind, salt and ice power our seas. They will journey all the way from the coral reefs to the deepest depths, discovering the fantastic life beneath the waves. Ultimately, they will comprehend how interconnected everything is to our ocean.

Sponsored by the Tulsa Library Trust.
