Walton Arts Center continues kid series with electroluminescent puppet performance


Walton Arts Center’s Kid Series continues next month with The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare presented by Lightwire Theater.

With the use of electroluminescent puppetry, two incandescent story-time adventures will be brought to life at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 1 in the arts center’s Baum Walker Hall in Fayetteville.

From the WAC:

Lightwire Theater presents two cherished fables in a new and brilliant light. Full-bodied electroluminescent puppetry visually dazzles like moving sculpture in this glowing theatrical experience. In an age where television, computers and video games reign, Lightwire delivers classic tales in a visually remarkable way with an engaging musical score ranging from classical to jazz to pop.

Tickets are $8 and can be purchased by calling the Walton Arts Center Box Office at 479-443-5600 or by visiting waltonartscenter.org.
