https://live.arts.ncsu.edu/nc-state-live-2022-23-season/lightwire-theater/Lightwire Theater thrilled the young and young-at-heart at NC State LIVE in 2019 and 2022. Now this innovative troupe of electroluminescent puppeteers (semifinalists on NBC’s America’s Got Talent) is back with a new spin on a classic tale. Lightwire Theater begins with Aesop’s charming fable of The Tortoise and the Hare and continues the story which finds the characters 10 years down the road, now with children of their own. Smart phones and video games create a new landscape of lost connections to life experiences.
With glowing puppetry, poignant storytelling and the creative use of music from classical to pop, this production brings this tale into a new brilliant light.
Recommended for creative and curious minds ages 4 to 10 and their families.
