You’ve Seen Them on TV…Now Watch Live as Lightwire Theater ‘Lights Up’ theYoung Auditorium Stage
Friday, April 27th – 7:30 pm
When the lights go out, Lightwire Theater shines with its own brand of illuminated storytelling. Using electroluminescent technology, Lightwire creates awe-inspiring glow-in-the-dark theatrical performances that are truly one-of-a-kind. You’ll have to see it to believe it as colorful, vibrant lights help tell the story of Marvin the mouse as he embarks on the space adventure of a lifetime inMoon Mouse: A Space Odyssey.
Featured as semi-finalists on NBC’sAmerica’s Got Talent and Tru TV’s Fake Off, Lightwire combines theater and technology to bring stories to life in complete darkness. Lightwire’s intricate performance costumes are lined with electroluminescent wire known as ‘el-wire’. Unlike backlights, ‘el wire’ can be powered by batteries, requires no theatrical lighting, and gives off 360-degrees of glowing light. The result…anything your inner-child can dream of including 16-foot tall birds, dinosaurs, and mice rocketing to the moon!
