Lookingglass Theatre is truly one of Chicago’s most unique theater companies. Their work is original and inventive and their location is actually inside the historic pumping station at Water Tower! The black box setting takes unique form with every single production. Joining in the conversation is Artistic Director Kasey Foster (a performer, producer, director, choreographer and puppeteer in her own right!) and new Managing Director Jamey Lundblad (most recently the Deputy Commissioner at the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events). They talk about the exciting upcoming season (which kicks off with the exciting Circus Quixote), the newly renovated lobby, bar and café, and SO much more!

Plus, we share the conversation we had (and the speech he gave) at the ribbon cutting with one of the founders of the theater, David Schwimmer! Yes, THAT David Schwimmer!

Tickets for Lookingglass Theatre and more information can be found at: www.LookingglassTheatre.org or by calling: 312.337.0665. The theater is located in the historic Water Tower pumping station at 163 E. Pearson. Check this out!
