A glow in the dark adventure brings pectacular magical art form to the stage
Special to The Gazete
TIFTON — Enormous, awesome, magical entertainment and education comes to the stage with “Corbian: A Glow in the Dark Adventure.” A 14-foot dinosaur made of lights is the feature character in this glow-in-the-dark tale about compassion and friendship.
Along his journey Corbian, the dinosaur, encounters Verla, the gangly ostrich; Peche, the beautiful fish; and Brutus, the menacing red dinosaur — each also made of lights.
“Through new, fascinating and strikingly simple theatrical methods and materials, these creatures come to life glowing in the dark. It is truly spectacular entertainment. It appeals to all ages,” said Wayne Jones, ABAC Arts Connection executive director.
“It is fantasy and technology colliding with ballet. The meaningful story is told through the glowing characters and their actions without spoken word. Their movements are enhanced by a sound track of beautiful music,” Jones explained.
“Corbian: A Glow in the Dark Adventure” will be performed at 7 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Tift County High School Performing Arts Center. An informational session about how the creatures are made to glow in the dark will take place at 6:30 p.m.
Single tickets for “Corbian: A Glow in the Dark Adventure” are $20 for adults and $2 for students. Tickets also can be purchased as a part of the Arts and Entertainment Flex Pass for $55 for adults and $15 for students. Other events in the series are: “An Evening with Lucille Ball: Thank You for Asking”; U.S. Navy Sea Chanters and Jazz Trumpeter Michael Phillip Mossman.

It is supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts through appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. GCA also receives support from its partner agency, the National Endowment for the Arts.
