Our shows are designed to bring audiences of all ages into a fantastical world of imagination. Lightwire Theater has been featured as a semi-finalist on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and winner of Tru TV’s Fake Off. The group combines theater and technology to bring stories to life in complete darkness and is internationally recognized for its signature brand of electroluminescent artistry. \nLightwire co-creators Ian Carney and Corbin Popp met in New York City while dancing in Twyla Tharp’s Movin’ Out on Broadway. An immediate connection was made between the kindred spirits as they discovered their mutual love of art\, theater\, and technology. After coming across a product called “el wire\,” the lights turned on and the possibilities seemed endless. Together\, with their wives Eleanor and Whitney\, they began to experiment with shapes and designs to develop puppetry-based neon creatures that quickly came to life. \nBased in New Orleans\, Lightwire Theater continues to create and deliver innovative theatrical experiences to audiences worldwide including: Hong Kong\, Estonia\, Canada\, Belarus\, China\, Abu Dhabi\, and as finalists on My TF1’s\, The Best Le Meilleur Artiste in Paris. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Educator Workshops\nThe APPlause!
