Lightwire Theater: DINO-LIGHT

Fri, Oct 17 • 10 am & 12 pm

Grades 2–6
Show length: 60 minutes

Back by popular demand, Lightwire Theater returns with DINO-LIGHT—a glow-in-the-dark adventure that captivates audiences of all ages. Using a cutting-edge blend of puppetry, technology, and dance, this visually stunning performance tells the heartwarming story of a curious dinosaur who discovers a world of light and the true meaning of love. Each character is handcrafted from recyclable materials like aluminum rods, PVC pipes, and skateboard wheels, then brought to life with electroluminescent wire that glows brilliantly in the dark. This inventive fusion of engineering and artistry creates a magical, immersive experience unlike anything else on stage.
