Layered with humor, an electrifying score, and dazzling contemporary choreography, Kid Lightning tells the story of a group of talented contestants on a popular game show vying to be crowned the next “Kid Lightning.” These individuals push their limits to claim fame and enter the intoxicating arena of celebrity, only to discover it is more than they bargained for. Equal parts awe-inspiring spectacle and intimate introspection, it contrasts the candy-coated superficialities of pop music and fame with more complex realities found underneath the surface.

Choreographed and directed by Lauren Edson with an original score by Andrew Stensaas, scenic/lighting design by Michael Mazzola, video directed by Kyle Morck, and costume design by Robin Holsinger, this production is brought to life by an incredible cast of eight dancers.
