Galileo Galilei Portrayed by Bob Gleason
Bob Gleason’s Galileo Galilei tells us not to accept what has always been accepted, to test it. And if you need something that you can’t find, create it yourself. He urges us to make each day a day to learn something new. Gleason’s Galileo also exhorts us to tell the truth, even if it gets you into hot water. We remember with honor those who tell the truth.
Galileo is frequently requested in Philadelphia, reflecting the city’s previous role as the center of science and education in the United States. Examples include Rittenhouse behind City Hall looking through a telescope and the Fels Planetarium.
