THE BIG BOOM THEORY
3: THE EARLY YEARS June 3 to Aug. 6 ( Weekly on Sundays and Wednesdays through Saturdays ) Celebrations Dinner Theatre What if I told you there was a day, almost twenty years ago, when Shel- don, Leonard, Bernadette and Penny all met each other, but didn’t know it? Let’s flashback to the year 1998; Titanic wins eleven Oscars and Windows 98 is released to the public. All our beloved scientists and Penny are seniors in high school, when a series of serendipitous events causes their lives to collide for just one day. Watch as Leonard and Sheldon meet for the very first time and witness the start of the Penny/Leonard (or Pennard) romantic saga! So crimp your hair, put on your jean jacket, grab your Beanie Baby and come see how your favourite nerds first met, all set to the best songs of the weirdest decade — that’s the 90s for those following along. This isn’t your average prequel… it’s a Geekquel!
