UAB’s Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center will present Lightwire Theater’s “DINO-LIGHT,” the story of a scientist with magical powers who brings a friendly dinosaur to life. When the dinosaur wanders away from home, he discovers a wonderful world full of creatures that light up the darkness and help him find the true meaning of love.
This glow-in-the-dark adventure has been praised for its cutting-edge blend of puppetry, technology and dance by audiences all over the world. Formerly known as “Darwin the Dinosaur,” the performance was the recipient of the prestigious Jim Henson Foundation Grant and is the first feature-length theatrical production created and performed by creators Ian Carney and Corbin Popp.
