Back with more jaw-dropping feats of physics, the 2026 Physics Force Winter Shows return to Northrop with more big demos and exhilarating experiments. With physicists dropping from the air, barrels imploding from the power of atmospheric pressure, and Northrop's historic pipe organ showing the connection between science and music, this spectacular educational display brings science to life for students.
Student Matinees at Northrop blend the thrill of live performance at a historic theater with the vigor of enriching education—inspiring students through dance, music, powerful storytelling, and now the amazing wonders of physics.

Northrop proudly engages students in meaningful experiences that expand their worldview and provide the hope and joy the arts offer through its K–12 matinee program.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
