Introducing GglassFest!
For the first time in Lookingglass’ history, audiences are invited to go behind the scenes and experience its new play development program, gglassworks, with the inaugural GglassFest. Attendees will have the opportunity to see how the Lookingglass Ensemble proposes new work to one another, to preview stories coming to the Lookingglass stage, and to participate in the process by sharing their thoughts and experiences around the material with Lookingglass staff.

“I could not be more excited about our 2025 – 2026 season. Ensemble Members Matthew C. Yee (White Rooster) and Kevin Douglas (Untitled Vampire Play) are two brilliant playwrights, each with a genius knack for dark humor. And Ensemble Member Heidi Stillman directs our Young Ensemble this season, providing the next generation of theatre makers with expert training in physical and imaginative storytelling that Lookingglass is known for. Join us!”
Kasey Foster, Lookingglass Theatre Company Artistic Director
