HIT THE LIGHTS!

 …that’s part of the thrill of HTL!

You are never just watching.

You are always a part of the story.

Hit The Lights! Company is a multi-disciplinary ensemble based in Astoria, Queens. Together, we devise hand-crafted stories and educational programming centering innovation, accessibility, and fun.

OUR WORK

HTL!’s artistic programming includes an original Signature Cycle series; a HTL! for Young Audiences series; and a variety of community partnerships and commissions. Groundbreaking productions include a punk-rock drinking-game adaptation of Moby Dick, a bilingual shadow puppet musical, an immersive fantasy experience based on video games, and a cinematic country-western love story.

OUR ENSEMBLE

Our core company is comprised of four multi-disciplinary artists who write, perform, puppet, direct, and produce the
work as a collective. Now in its tenth year as a professional theatre company, HTL! has received national and international recognition, including multiple “best-of” awards and were featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

OUR IMPACT

HTL! Education celebrates the artist in all of us. Using our “Less Talk, More Rock” motto, we create fun and inspiring learning environments, where students learn to express their ideas more clearly, to work together healthily, and to practice a future where they are empowered to create and perform their own stories. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

“Hit the Lights reminds us of the type of art we wanted to make when we entered the entertainment industry.

The joy of the process is so evident in all of their creations…

even in the deeper and more emotional of their works.”
