About That Math Show
The Science Theater Company, that presented more than 800 performances of THAT PHYSICS SHOW and THAT CHEMISTRY SHOW, returns to off-Broadway with THAT MATH SHOW. In association with the National Museum Of Mathematics (MoMath), the show features Dr. Arthur Benjamin, a nationally known "math-e-magician".
THAT MATH SHOW takes the audience on a rollicking journey through the wonder and joyous fun of mathematics. The Los Angeles Times commented, "He talks like a performer, acts like a magician, and multiplies faster than a computer." And Stephen Colbert quipped. "This is fun!" With some audience participation, some magic and a great deal of fun, THAT MATH SHOW is a must for the math curious and "math nerds" of every age.
As our math-e-magician says, "This show is not to show you how smart I am, but how smart you are!"
"That Math Show is a delightful evening for people nine to 90!” - THEATERSCENE.NET
“THAT MATH SHOW is making math a little bit more accessible and a little less scary, and it does that exceedingly well." - SAYSMESAYSMOM.BLOGSPOT
"For anyone who has ever believed mathematics belonged exclusively to gifted minds, That Math Show offers a joyful correction. Created and performed by Dr. Arthur Benjamin and directed by Eric Krebs, this lively production reveals the beauty and playfulness of numbers.” - OFFOFFONLINE.COM

Unique and productive experience
That Math Show is wonderfully done show combining Mathematics and Magic by Professor Arthur Benjamin. You would think that a show about math would not have the same attraction to its 5 to 13-year-old target audience as That Physics Show or That Chemistry Show. Afterall, those two shows allow the presenter to blow things up and crash things on stage. That really isn't possible in a show about mathematics. But the 100 or show kids at the show I saw put your preconceived notions to rest. Virtually every kid paid complete attention throughout the 80-minute show and whenever Benjamin called for volunteers dozens of hands went up and no one was too shy to get on stage. The concepts presented were complex but presented in a way that even us old fogeys believed we could grasp with a little practice, and the younger members of the audience got them right away. The show reinforced the belief that when a teacher knows and loves their subject children feel that affection and enthusiasm and want to share in that joy. Reinforcing the show's impact, virtually every kid remained in the small Theater 555 lobby to meet and ask Benjamin questions. Once again, we are shown that quality theater will never bore young audiences, but bad theater will lose most of them almost immediately
An engaging way to learn about math. Is great for curious minds!
