The Silhouettes® is America’s premiere shadow-dance company created and directed by Lynne Waggoner-Patton.
The Silhouettes® acclaimed show, “LOVE Happens” is an entertaining, family-friendly shadow
dance story filled with the types of love that fill our world. Everything from the love of
friendship, family, a pet, to romantic love, the love of a child, love of music, the painful side of
love, love of life – even the love of chocolate! The production takes you on an emotional
journey of laughter, tears and goosebumps, and will bring LOVE to your heart.
The Silhouettes® have been featured in TV commercials, on the Muscular Dystrophy Show of
Strength, Nickelodeon’s See Dad Run, and have traveled the world from Ireland to Poland to
Mexico and Canada, and are currently in residency at the America’s Got Talent theatre at the
Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. Over the years, The Silhouettes® have raised millions of dollars to
benefit various children’s charities. Their mission is to help children reach their dreams and
goals no matter what their situation in life, and give them the strength and knowledge to make
a huge impact in our world.
