Don't miss Flatlands Dance Theatre's newest show, The Lubbock Lights! On August 25, 1951 a strange set of lights were spotted by hundreds of witnesses over the north end of Lubbock. 70 years later, and we are still questioning what those lights were. Could a report filed by Air Force Officer Edward J Ruppelt shed light on this mystery? Did the journalists get the real scoop from witnesses? Whose truth is real - and whose truth matters?

In this psychologically thrilling work by first time director, Hannah Dunn, Flatlands Dance Theatre sends audiences into the mind of Ruppelt, the man who coined the term “UFO." Featuring FDT dance artists and guest actor Travis Burge as the character of Ruppelt, this provocative production physicalizes the psychological struggle discerned between truth and sensationalism. Don't miss this exciting peek into one of the great mysteries of Lubbock history.

The Lubbock Lights will be presented on Friday, October 25th and Saturday, October 26th at 7:30 pm in the Firehouse Theatre at LHUCA (511 Avenue K). Ticket prices are $25 general admission and $15 for seniors, children, and students with ID. Tickets can be purchased at the door, by calling Select-A-Seat at (806) 770-2000, or at this link: https://ci.lubbock.tx.us/departments/civic-center/ticketing/flatlands-dance-theatre-lubbock-lights
