It will be a Valentine’s Day unlike any other as Lightwire Theater performs its signature piece, Lightwire: The Show. Lightwire has been featured as semi-finalists on NBC's America’s Got Talent and winners of Tru TV's Fake Off. The company combines theater and technology to bring stories to life in complete darkness and are internationally recognized for their signature brand of electroluminescent artistry. Creatures light up the stage in a visually stimulating performance.
In this epic adventure for the whole family, birds grow 16 feet tall, cats fight with light sabers, and 60 electroluminescent creatures light up the stage. The story begins with an outcast young bird trying to come to terms with a strange new power he's been given. Banished from his tribe for being different, he wanders his planet where danger lurks everywhere. A chance encounter with a warrior cat creates an unlikely friendship and together they save their world from an alien species seeking to destroy it. Lightwire: The Show is 80 minutes in duration plus intermission.
Lightwire: The Show can be chosen as part of a flexible season ticket package. Gift packages, tickets, and gift certificates can be purchased at the Farber Box Office, Heritage Center, University of Dubuque, 2255 Bennett Street; by phone at 563.585.SHOW; or online at www.dbq.edu/heritagecenter.
