Mad Science presents CSI: Live!, an interactive journey through the fascinating world of crime scene investigation for ages 9 and up, at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 5, in Yardley Hall of the Carlsen Center, Johnson County Community College.

Based on the popular television series, CSI: Live! incorporates cutting-edge forensic science, unparalleled audience interaction and amazing visual effects into a fast-paced production.

When a crime is committed at the Las Vegas premiere of the Max Spade Magic Show, the CSI team springs into action. Sydney Mathis and David Hart play the roles of CSI investigators and are on the case, assisted by supervisor Gil Grissom through a live-video connection from the Las Vegas Crime Lab. With the help of the latest crime-fighting technology and an entire audience of witnesses, CSI investigators take on the task of solving this baffling crime. Audience members will jump up on stage becoming witnesses, as well as suspects and CSI recruits.

Together they will use their superior logic and forensic know-how to uncover hidden details, investigate the evidence and test their theories. Whether it’s analyzing mysterious gases,launching projectiles into a target or firing a laser beam across the stage, the CSI recruits will have to be on their toes to help solve the crime before it’s too late. How was the crime committed? Who is guilty? Science will uncover the truth.

Tickets are $8 youth, $12 adults, available by calling the Carlsen Center box office at 913-469-4445 or online at www.jccc.edu/CarlsenCenter.
