On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, her father’s former student. Over the long weekend that follows, the discovery of a mysterious notebook and a possible romance draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness—or genius—will she inherit?

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.
