Lightwire Theater and Corbian Visual Arts & Dance Present THE UGLY DUCKLING and THE TORTOISE & THE HARE Today

By:

Stamford Center for the Arts is proud to welcome back Lightwire Theater and Corbian Arts & Dance (as seen on America's Got Talent) who bring new life to the classic tales "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Tortoise & The Hare" today, February 7, 2013 at 10:00 AM at the Palace Theatre in Stamford. Tickets are on sale now at www.SCAlive.org. Lined with electroluminescent wire, these well-known stories play out on stage through a cutting edge blend of full-body puppetry, technology and dance.

Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" has helped generations of children understand one of humanity's universal struggles. Lightwire Theater brings this classic story to the Modern Stage offering hope to us all as we root for the ugly duckling who exemplifies resilience and heroism along the way to becoming a beautiful swan.

Aesop's fable, "The Tortoise and the Hare," now more than 2,500 years old, continues to drive home the time-tested adage, "Slow and steady wins the race."

Lightwire Theater, with its dazzling visuals, poignant choreography and creative use of music ranging from classical to jazz to pop, literally brings these beloved tales into a new and brilliant light.

Tickets for The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise & The Hare today, February 7, 2013 at 10:00 AM are $10 and are on sale now at www.SCAlive.org, charge by phone with major credit cards by calling the SCA Box Office at 203-325-4466 or in person at the Palace Theatre Box Office in downtown Stamford, CT. The box office is open Monday-Friday from 10am to 6pm.
