Broadway Season sponsored by How David Epley blended acting and science, to become

Michael W. Aldrich, TPAC Arts Writer

f you combined Bill Nye and Guy Fieri in a lab, then sent him to acting school, you’d Iget Doktor Kaboom. With chrome goggles, orange lab coat, motorcycle boots, and spiked hair, the mad scientist not only embraces the ridiculous, he celebrates it. Doktor Kaboom has been dazzling young minds with interactive, educational, and comical performances for more than a decade — recently performing as part of TPAC’s HOT Season for Young People for the fifth time this past December. But the man behind the madness didn’t always want to entertain young audiences by making water bottles into rockets and catapulting bananas across the stage. “It took me 40 years to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” says actor, comedian, and Doktor Kaboom creator David Epley. “But when I found it, I never looked back.” Epley grew up expecting to be a research physicist, a biomedical engineer, a mathematician, an astrophysicist, a chemical engineer, and a marine biologist. So, naturally, he became an actor. “The stage’s calling eventually became too loud to ignore,” he says. After studying to become a chemical engineer at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Epley spent the next two decades performing and directing original comedy at outdoor festivals and street performances. It was during his 20-year tenure performing on the Renaissance Festival circuit when he learned how to interact with an audience. “During those shows, I worked with some brilliant minds who taught me how to deal with any type of situation you can encounter,” Epley says. The idea to mix his two passions of science and performing together hit him like a bus one day while working at a festival in Texas, wondering what he was about to do for the upcoming off-season. Epley reminds students that science is a part of everyday life by using every day, household items. “It was about 12 years ago. I had turned 40 and decided I’m going to have a good idea this year,” says Epley. “And when I did, instead of talking about it for a few weeks until I got bored talking about it, I followed through.” The character Doktor Kaboom was born. A German physicist who teaches that science is for everyone through a variety of interactive experiments ranging from optical illusions to chemical reactions and a homemade hovercraft.

No two shows are the same. “Since I’m an actor, I didn’t want to just be me around us and it’s not difficult.

David Epley, also known as Doktor Kaboom, recently did his fifth set of performances for TPAC’s HOT Season for Young People. Warner Elementary seeing benefits as performing arts magnet with TPAC partnership Michael W. Aldrich TPAC Arts Writer

hen Warner Elementary School became an arts magnet school in 2018, Wit was only a matter of time before leaders of the East Nashville school found a willing and able partner. Now, Tennessee Performing Arts Center is helping educators introduce a new style of learning for students in one of Tennessee’s lowest-performing schools — where 93% are considered economically disadvantaged. Warner students act out the different roles of Walk On: The Story of Rosa Parks. Founded in 1892 and one of the oldest schools in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, learning in other subjects. Last year, the Warner is the district’s only magnet elementary program reached 1,570 students in 11 Tennessee school for the arts. counties and one in Alabama. “We believe everything builds through the Arts instruction has declined steadily in America arts,” says principal Dr. Ricki Gibbs. “So often since the 1980s amid increased emphasis on students from economically disadvantaged test-based accountability. But research supports backgrounds get so drilled down with literacy what most educators already know – that arts- and numeracy, that schools normally push the based learning not only improves writing skills arts to the side.” but also reduces disciplinary infractions and Warner is one of nearly a dozen public schools boosts students’ empathy for others. in Middle Tennessee participating in ArtSmart, Those benefits are being seen at Warner, where TPAC’s initiative to engage classrooms with the number of disciplinary referrals decreased arts-integrated learning for both students and by nearly 75% last year since becoming an arts teachers.

In fact, the school demonstrated some of the highest literacy growth for economically disadvantaged students in the state. The programs and partnership – even cosmetic improvements including a full-size professional dance studio – are the result of receiving a federal Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) grant in 2018.
