We are proud to announce a special family-friendly performance at Magnolia Theatre on Baton Rouge Community College’s Mid City campus on Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 p.m. Audiences of all ages are invited to experience the magic of New Orleans-based Lightwire Theater, a visually stunning production that combines storytelling, technology, and dance.
This performance uses larger than life puppets with LED lighting to tell stories. This unique performance captivates kids and adults of all ages with its visual complexity.
Lightwire Theater brings a classic tale to the modern stage utilizing light, music, and technology. Lined with electroluminescent wire, the beloved story of The Ugly Duckling plays out on stage through a cutting-edge blend of puppetry and dance. Based in New Orleans, this internationally traveling theater production is a unique and truly incredible experience.
Recommended for all ages, but please note that theatre will turn completely dark once the performance begins so that you can see the lit characters and props.
