About Lightwire Theater
Lightwire Theater has been a featured semi-finalist on America's Got Talent and is internationally recognized for its signature brand of electroluminescent (EL) artistry and poignant storytelling. Cofounders Ian and Eleanor Carney were both born and raised in New Orleans and met at age through ballet class. After their successful dancing careers took them to New York, where they met co-creator, Corbin Popp, they came across EL wire. The lights turned on and the possibilities seemed endless.
Together, along with Corbin's wife, Whitney, they began to experiment with shapes and designs to develop puppetry-based neon creatures that quickly came to life. You can read more about Lightwire Theater and watch videos at lightwiretheater.com/a-very-electric-christmas.
