Paul,
Here at the Anchorage Museum we have a permanent planetarium that serves about 30 people. If you talk to Omega Smith ([log in to unmask]), she'd be glad to help you out. I know you were looking for East Coast though.
Cheers,

Paul,
You should definitely talk with the staff at the Lawrence Hall of Science (Alan Gould is the contact - [log in to unmask]) and at Pacific Science Center (Alice Enevoldsen is the contact - [log in to unmask]). They both have small dome planetariums especially designed to encourage participatory programs and serve 25 to
45 people. Both have data/video feed capability that can be used as part of the interactive programs.

Can anyone provide examples of successful "small dome" theaters (preferably on the East Coast)?
To be more specific I do not mean IMAX, purpose built planetariums, or inflatable domes.
Instead I am looking for examples of permanent building areas that might hold one classroom (30-40 people) where video/data feeds are presented.
Related --- have any "Science on a Sphere" (or similar) programs been presented inside a small domed theatre instead of being projected onto the outside of the spheres?
