The most visited Observatory in the world is Los Angeles's famous Griffith Observatory. One of the the most unique experiences at Griffith Observatory is seeing one of the live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. In 2018, Frank auditioned for and was selected to join Griffith's small, exclusive group of live "Planetarium Lecturers" (all members of Actors' Equity Association), who individually present live dome projected shows in the planetarium. These unique, entertainingly educational programs include live, in front of audience, show specific monologues, and live voice over narration of dazzaling dome projected shows - in real time. These live, educational, inspiring, planetarium shows are presented six days a week.
Frank has performed and presented 4 different shows. Currently, these 3 shows are presented:

| Past shows include: Light of the Valkyries |
| This little hand made card was presented to me one night by a beautiful little girl after one of my shows. It touched my heart, I carry it with me for every show :).

People often stop by the console (where I'm performing the live voice over) after my shows and express their thoughts about the show, complement my performance, and sometimes ask questions about the Universe. When I answer questions I always make it clear that I am speaking for myself, not the Observatory. Sometimes the shows evoke an emotional response which I'm always pleased to see. Our shows are designed to educate, and if along the way we make you think about Life, our moment here on this miracle we call Earth, then it has been time well spent for us all.
