Lightwire Theater’s The Adventures of Tortoise and Hare

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.

There will be a post-show Q&A and a behind-the-scenes look at the L-wire technology used by the performers.
