Following their recent breakout success on America’s Got Talent, receiving great accolades from the judges and audiences, Lightwire Theater brings its unique method of storytelling to light at Segerstrom Center for the Arts May 17 & 18 in Samueli Theater.

The timeless tales of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling and Aesop’s fable The Tortoise and the Hare meet modern day cutting-edge technology as a dark stage illuminates, bringing these beloved characters to life with the use of electroluminescent wire.

Audiences will marvel at the stunning imagery, compelling choreography and stirring music. The Los Angeles Times calls it, “A wonderful hour of fantasy that combines ancient, wordless storytelling with modern technology and music.”
