Primary Students Attend Lightwire Performance

The performers

The wires used for the production

   The students from Chadron Primary School had the privilege of attending the Lightwire Theater Performance of the Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare sponsored by the Chadron State College Galaxy Series.  The program was unique in that it provided a program of visuals, choreography, and the creative use of music ranging from classical to jazz to pop, literally bringing these tales into a new and brilliant light, with no speaking during the program.
     Lightwire Theater was first introduced a couple of years ago on America's Got Talent.  It was also offered to the public at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday evening.  For a preview of what you child(ren) saw, you may access a short video by pasting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OJL_y0H_UM in your URL.
