I did a gig a week or two ago with Red Shift productions, who do some great science/theater work. We did an opening performance for a life sciences conference with Nobel Laurate Roald Hoffman. He gave the opening keynote, supposedly a talk about molecular behaviour under high-pressure, and his laptop "didn't work"... so myself and two other actors came up and performed the slides for him, a la classic improv format "Family Vacation". Lots of fun.
