Dino-Light: A Glow-in-the-Dark Adventure by Lightwire Theater

Get ready for a dazzling, family-friendly experience that brings dinosaurs to life in a way you’ve never seen before. Dino-Light, presented by Lightwire Theater as part of the Grand OnStage series, combines cutting-edge technology, puppetry, and dance to create a visually stunning performance that captivates audiences of all ages.

Created by Ian Carney and Corbin Popp, and originally supported by the prestigious Jim Henson Foundation Grant, Dino-Light tells the heartwarming story of a friendly dinosaur brought to life by a magical scientist. When the curious creature wanders away from home, he embarks on an unforgettable journey through a glowing, imaginative world filled with vibrant characters and luminous landscapes.

Along the way, he encounters a series of fascinating creatures who light up the darkness—both literally and figuratively—helping guide him toward understanding friendship, belonging, and the true meaning of love. The story unfolds without the need for traditional dialogue, relying instead on movement, music, and breathtaking visuals to carry audiences through this enchanting adventure.

What sets Dino-Light apart is its innovative use of electroluminescent technology, transforming performers into glowing, larger-than-life characters that seem to float across the stage. The result is a mesmerizing, immersive experience that feels part theatre, part visual art, and part dream.

Perfect for children ages 5–10 and enjoyable for the whole family, this performance offers a unique opportunity to introduce younger audiences to live theatre in an exciting and accessible way.

Whether it’s your child’s first theatre experience or a special family outing, Dino-Light promises an afternoon filled with wonder, imagination, and unforgettable moments.
