In addition to their original work repertoire The Signature Cycle, Hit the Lights! has partnered with individuals and organizations across the country, bringing ideas to life and enhancing audience experiences through a variety of platforms.

In 2020, Hit The Lights! collaborated with Vogue Magazine to produce large scale flower puppets for their March 2021 cover shoot featuring cover model Gigi Hadid and photographed by Ethan James Green.

Hit The Lights! and the New York Botanical Garden began their partnership in the fall of 2019.  As a part of NYBG’s Spooky Garden Pumpkin Nights, Hit The Lights! created an original shadow short The Secret Life of Scarecrows that delighted the Garden’s patrons.  Additionally, Hit The Lights! created interactive shadow puppet installations throughout the garden that patrons were able to illuminate and manipulate themselves.  Hit The Lights! also collaborated in 2021, bringing their newest shadow show Archie’s Halloween Adventure to life!

Hit The Lights! has worked alongside Sammy Miller and the Congregation many times over the past three years, elevating their lives shows and bringing their most ambitious theatrical ideas to life.  In June of 2018, Hit The Lights! opened for the band at Bowery Ballroom as a part of Sammy Miller’s Camp Congregation, and that December the two groups collaborated again at the Bowery for The Completely Non-Religious Holiday Spectacular.  Their collaborative relationship took another step forward in 2019 and 2020 when HTL! conceived, puppeteered and directed the music video for the song Date A Jew, a single from the band’s first feature length album Leaving Egypt. 

In 2018, Gimlet Media released its hit podcast The Habitat, and presented its first live podcasting festival GimletFest.  They commissioned HTL to create a live component for The Habitat portion of the festival, using unreleased material from the podcast.  Bigfoot, the story of a mouse crew the members found while simulating life on Mars, incorporated HTL!’s signature blend of live music and shadow puppetry while adding a dynamic flavor to the GimletFest lineup. 

In the fall of 2016, Hit the Lights! was invited to Cincinnati, Ohio by local experimental company The Know Theatre to create a site-specific immersive theatrical experience. Drawing on the work of HP Lovecraft and Cincinnati’s robust beer brewing history, The Other Rhine was born in the bowels of The Mockbee Building on Central Parkway.  Audiences were thrilled and delighted across three floors of immersive entertainment, with students of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (CCM) Acting Department helping to flesh out the nightmare that HTL! had meticulously created.
