Unravel the science behind some of your favorite movies during this entertaining and educational evening with astrophysicist—and director of the National History Museum’s Hayden Planetarium—Neil deGrasse Tyson. From classic films to the latest box-office hits, hear about what directors got wrong (and what they got right) in movies such as Star Wars, The Martian, and even Frozen. Dr.Tyson is no stranger to the silver screen either, having appeared (often as himself) in various television shows and movies, as well as hosting television show Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, a successor to Carl Sagan’s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Treat yourself to a VIP ticket and get front row seats along with access to a meet-and-greet with Dr. Tyson following the program. North Charleston Performing Arts Center, 5001 Coliseum Dr. Wednesday, 7:30pm. $89-$45; $249 VIP. (843)529-5000, www.northcharlestoncoliseumpac.com
