David Epley, the creator of Doktor Kaboom!, is a Seattle-based actor and comedian who has been entertaining audiences for over 16 years. He's known for his unique blend of science, comedy, and interactive performances. Epley's most recent show, "Doktor Kaboom! Look Out! Science is Coming!", is a thrilling ride that explores the scientific method, covering topics such as safety, pressure, and chemical reactions. The show is designed for kids aged 8-14, but adults will enjoy it just as much, thanks to Epley's witty humor and clever demonstrations.

Epley's passion for science began when he was just 11 or 12 years old, when he built a lab in his parents' basement. He studied chemistry and physics at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, where he discovered his love for being on stage. After years of performing at renaissance festivals and developing his Doktor Kaboom! character, Epley decided to focus on indoor shows and spend more time with his family.

Epley's shows are not just about science; they're also about empowerment. He believes that by learning about a subject and laughing about it, people will remember it better. His performances are interactive and improvisational, making them appealing to a wide range of audiences. Epley has been praised for his ability to make science accessible and fun for everyone.

The 2024-25 Performing Arts Series at Moraine Valley Community College's Fine & Performing Arts Center is thrilled to host Doktor Kaboom! on September 27. The show promises to be an unforgettable experience, with a catapult, tricks, and demonstrations that will leave the audience in awe.
