LED

In Spring 2026, LED premieres it's brand new creation, "Look, Mom!" Taking its title from the familiar childhood call and that urgent plea to be watched, to be noticed, to be seen right now . The piece taps into that universal impulse, exploring what it means to crave recognition from a parent, an audience, or the world at large. Crafted and performed by Lauren Edson and Andrew Stensaas , alongside an extraordinary ensemble of artists from across the country, " Look, Mom !" features breathtaking movement and original music performed live by LED’s in-house band. This work becomes a vulnerable and personal excavation of how the need to be witnessed shapes us, how it informs identity, artistry, and the way we navigate through the world.

The Rat King reimagines The Nutcracker through a bold, burlesque-inspired lens—one part Sugar Plum, two parts pure mischief. This daring new work shines a spotlight on the lesser-known story of the Rat King—a figure often feared, perhaps misunderstood. What unfolds is a genre-defying feast of performance. With LED’s in-house band as your musical host, journey through a decadent land of sweets where aerial artistry, tap dancing, opera, comedy, and unexpected delights collide. A holiday classic, transformed—both deliciously familiar and thrillingly new.
