Rollins Planetarium Presents “Fright Light II” Laser Concert

Young Harris, Ga. - Young Harris College’s O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium will present “Fright Light II Laser Concert” at 7 and 8 p.m. on the following Friday evenings: Oct. 21 and Oct. 28. Planetarium admission per show is $5 for adults, $3 for students and free with YHC ID. Tickets are available for advance purchase online at yhc.edu/planetarium or at the door 30 minutes prior to each show.

This spooktacular family friendly Halloween show is set to amazing laser lights from SkyLase, the only full-dome, full-color, solid-state laser projection system, and enhanced by a stunning star projector. Combined with classic monster music favorites like “Thriller,” “Monster Mash” and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” and new selections including a Horror Movie Medley, this show is sure to be a hallowing good time.

Laser concerts contain loud music, flashing lights, spinning stars and other effects that some may find disruptive. This show is not recommended for those who may have conditions that could be aggravated by this experience.

O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium features a state-of-the-art GOTO Chronos Space Simulator star projector with a full-dome digital projection system, the Sky-Skan Definiti, in a 40-foot dome theater with 5.1 surround sound. With comfortable seating for 104, Rollins Planetarium offers public shows and educational opportunities for school groups throughout the year.
