Based in New Orleans, Lightwire Theater is internationally recognized for their electroluminescent artistry, poignant story telling and performances in complete darkness.
“We first brought Lightwire Theater’s ‘The Ugly Duckling’ and ‘The Tortoise and The Hare’ to the BPAC in 2012 as part of our Matinee Series,” said Laura Howell, BPAC executive director. “Our audience loved them so much, our programming committee knew we wanted to bring the group back to our Main Stage Series. We also appreciate being able to present performances that the whole family can attend together and enjoy, especially during the holidays.”
Prior to the performance, beginning at 5:45 p.m., enjoy hot cocoa and cookies in the BPAC lobby. Patrons are encourage to bring their cameras, as once again Santa will be stopping by the BPAC to pay the children a visit.
“‘A Very Electric Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to bring families together and start a new holiday tradition,” Howell added. “Children must be at least two-years-old to attend, have their own ticket and be able to sit in their own seat. The performance is approximately 80 minutes long, plus a 15-minute intermission.”
