SUMMARY:Lightwire Theater’s The Adventures of Tortoise and Hare
DESCRIPTION:You know how the race ended — but the story was just beginning. Lightwire Theater’s The Adventures of Tortoise and Hare: The Next Gen picks up a decade after the finish line\, where Old Man Tortoise and Big Daddy Hare are now fathers navigating a world of smartphones and video games. When Tortoise Junior and Lil’ Hare disappear into unexpected territory\, their fathers must set aside a lifetime of rivalry and join forces. Told through Lightwire Theater’s signature electroluminescent puppetry and a soundtrack ranging from classical to pop\, this visually stunning production transforms a timeless fable into a poignant reflection on connection\, parenthood\, and what it really means to win. A spectacular family experience you won’t want to miss.\n\nThere will be a post-show Q&A and behind the scene’s look at the L-wire technology used by the performers.

SUMMARY:Come From Away
DESCRIPTION:COME FROM AWAY\n\n“Suddenly everything’s high. Suddenly there’s nothing in between me and the sky.”\n\nIn the face of unimaginable tragedy\, ordinary people chose extraordinary kindness.
