Big Things In Small Spaces

Production Artistic Director Phil Smith on the opening of the Chase Studio Theatre

It begins. The Lookingglass Magazine is ALIVE and on the web. I hope you will find this monthly presentation what we mean it to be - a contextual enhancement to your Lookingglass experience. Each month we will present several new segments - windows into the genesis of our productions, revealing portraits of our artists, media downloads of music and video, reflections of our path and history, and insights into ambitions now and in the future.

It’s going to be great.

If you are reading this you realize that Lookingglass is committed to producing daring and innovative new works, and that we challenge ourselves and our audience by blazing new paths of expression and presentation. That is a lot to take in in an evening and until now there has not been an easy outlet for theatregoers to celebrate/vent to us about what they have just seen. In response to this vacancy, Lookingglass is ushering in a new interactive capability - Lookingglass Unedited [read BLOG] - where we can get to know you better and where you can dialogue with us and others about your theatrical experience - positive and negative.

That will be fun. - Read more

Writing From the Heart

Mary Zimmerman On Her Creative Process

Sometimes people have asked me how I came to choose or decide on a particular text for adaptation. The truth is that the verbs decide and choose don’t feel appropriate. I no more decide what text I am drawn to than one decides whom to fall in love with. - Read more
