Photo Flash: Lightwire Theater Brings Glow-in-the-Dark Adventure to Raue Center

Join Raue Center For The Arts on a glow-in-the-dark adventure through a wonderful world filled with magic, love and dinosaurs! Lightwire Theater presents "Dino-Light" at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 23, 2018.

"Lightwire Theater shows are always fun and have a scientific element that shows kids they can learn and be entertained at the same time," says Raue Center General Manager, Kate Wilford. "Each show they bring in is great and kids are always entertained - I mean, how can you hate neon puppets and lasers? They bring a style of entertainment that is unique and fun for the whole family!"

"Dino-Light," formerly known as "Darwin the Dinosaur," was the recipient of the prestigious Jim Henson Foundation Grant and the first feature-length theatrical production created and performed by creators Ian Carney and Corbin Popp.

In this original storyline, a famous scientist with magic powers brings a friendly dinosaur to life. When the dinosaur wanders away from home, he discovers a wonderful world full of creatures that light up the darkness and help him find the true meaning of love. This glow-in-the-dark adventure is visually amazing and has been praised for its cutting edge blend of puppetry, technology and dance by audiences all over the world.

Lightwire Theater has been featured as semi-finalists on NBC's "America's Got Talent" and were the winners of TruTV's "Fake Off." The group combines theater and technology to bring stories to life in complete darkness and is internationally recognized for their signature brand of electroluminescent artistry.
